Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has dissolved the Governing Councils of the State University and College of Education.
The Boards are headed by Franklin Ogbuewu and a former Minister of State for Health, Fidelis Nwankwo.
Umahi also sacked 16 more aides from various local governments.
The dissolution was announced in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Kenneth Ugbala. He said the dissolution was to enthrone efficiency in service delivery.
The statement reads: “Governor Umahi has approved the dissolution of the State University’s Governing Council and Board of the College of Education, Ikwo, with immediate effect.
“The Chairmen and members of Board should hand over all government property in their possession to the Vice Chancellor and the Provost before the close of work today (yesterday).
“Copies of the handover notes should be submitted to Secretary to the State Government/Coordinating Commissioner without delay. All concerned are to ensure strict compliance.”
Ugbala said the 16 aides, mostly technical assistants, were sacked for alleged dereliction of duty.
The affected aides were directed to submit all government property in their possession on or before the close of work today (yesterday).
“Following the governor’s directive, these political appointees are hereby relieved of their appointments for dereliction of duty with immediate effect.
“They are Atuma Ifeanyi, Jude Nwovu, Ifeanyi Ogbuewu, Chinyere Daniel, Chinoso Iboke (Liaison Officer), Chinedu Iteshi (Liaison Officer), Agatha Nwancho (Member, DC Management Committee), Nwaforagu Ikechukwu (Member, Dc Management Committee).
