The governor of Benue state, Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia has sacked all political appointees under the Samuel Ortom administration serving in the various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
They were directed to hand over to the most senior civil servants in their offices.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Tersoo Kula, disclosed this to journalists at a briefing after an emergency meeting.
The first five political appointees of the new administration were present at the meeting along with top civil servants who are responsible for the payment and management of salaries and pensions.
According to Kula, the decision comes after the last three days of unscheduled visitations by Governor Alia to MDAs, where he uncovered a lot of decay and inefficiency in the management of public utilities.
