Governor
David Umahiof Ebonyi State on Friday dissolved the state Executive Council after its enlarged meeting.
Kenneth Ugbala, the secretary to the State Government (SSG), disclosed this to reporters after the meeting.
Mr Ugbala said the dissolution was to allow the government appraise performances of the different ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).
“The dissolution was also to strengthen capacity building in the various MDAs,” he said.
The SSG said the dissolution, which would be in two phases, did not affect the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Religion and Welfare Matters, Abraham Nwali, a Catholic priest.
“All other commissioners, SSAs and SAs are presently affected by the dissolution, while 17 others are listed in the second phase of the dissolution.
