Governor Ayade to dissolve cabinet
Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade has asked his commissioners and other principal office holders to prepare their handover notes in preparation for dissolution of his four year-old cabinet.
A statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary and Senior Special Assistant Media, Christian Ita, yesterday confirmed the cabinet shake-up saying Ayade will in the process reduce the size of his cabinet ahead of his second term inauguration on May 29, 2019.
“Governor Ayade will run a smaller and tighter cabinet in his second term in office to engender a more focused administration for better service delivery in the state,” the statement reads.
It is added that Ayade in his four years maintained a cabinet of about 30 commissioners and over 1,000 special advisers and assistants, some of who received salaries regularly, yet had no offices or designated functions.
