He directed all commissioners to hand over their ministries’ affairs to permanent secretaries without delay.
Mr Njodi added that all political appointees with electoral ambitions must resign their positions on or before Friday.
“Governor Yahaya has today approved the immediate dissolution of the State Executive Council. Consequently, all commissioners must hand over their ministries to permanent secretaries by Friday.
“Government appointees intending to contest in the 2027 general elections must resign their appointments on or before Friday,” he added.
