As part of moves aimed at enhancing transparency and efficiency in the public service sector, Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okphebholo, has approved the immediate dissolution of Local Government Service Commission.
Chief Press Secretary to Governor Okpebholo, Fred Itua, who announced this in a statement, said the development is part of Governor Okpebholo’s ongoing reforms designed to streamline government operations, ensure efficiency, and improve the overall performance of all public sector institutions within the State.
The statement said the governor assured Edo citizens, members of the public, and staff of the Commission that the dissolution will not affect the ongoing official affairs and reaffirmed his commitment to engaging with all stakeholders to develop a robust plan for restructuring the Local Government Service Commission for enhanced effectiveness and efficiency.
“This move became necessary in order to revitalise our Local Government Service Commission and reposition it for more efficient service delivery. By this decision, we aim to eliminate inefficiency and build a more accountable and effective local service structure. Edo State Government remains committed to transparent, efficient, and effective public service delivery with the intent of bringing the dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
“Updates regarding this decision and upcoming changes in the Local Government Service Commission will be communicated in due course,” the statement added.
