Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has dissolved all statutory and non-statutory boards and commissions in the state with immediate effect, according to an announcement made on Thursday by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Enobong Uwah, in Uyo, the state capital.
The decision, enacted under the Statutory Boards (Special Provisions) Law, 2023, was communicated by Uwah, who directed chairpersons of the affected agencies to hand over all government property in their custody to the most senior officer in their respective establishments.
Uwah conveyed Governor Eno’s appreciation to the members of the dissolved boards and commissions for their contributions toward the state’s ARISE agenda. “The governor wishes members of the dissolved boards and commissions well in their future endeavours and commends them for the roles they have played,” the SSG stated.
The dissolution follows hints dropped by Governor Eno during a media briefing marking the 37th anniversary of Akwa Ibom’s creation in 2024. At the time, he indicated plans to dissolve the state executive council, including statutory and non-statutory boards, noting that the move would not surprise commissioners who had dedicated their efforts to the state’s development. He further mentioned awaiting “the right time” to hold a valedictory session to honor the contributions of commissioners and board members to the state’s growth.
The dissolution takes effect immediately, and no further details on the valedictory session were provided in the announcement.
