Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade, has ordered his former aides, including commissioners to surrender all official vehicles still in their possession.
In a statement on Monday by the Chief of Staff to the governor, Martins Orim, Ayade said the vehicles should be returned within 78 hours to avoid embarrassment.
“All former commissioners, special advisers, special assistants and other former appointees of the Cross River State Government, including chairmen and members of commissions, boards, agencies, governing councils and Local Governments Security Council chairmen, who were issued official vehicles are hereby directed to return same to the office of the Chief of Staff to the Governor within 78 hours,” part of the statement said.
Ayade had last week dissolved his cabinet and promised to reduce the new cabinet contrary to 28 commissioners he had in his first term.
The governor also promised to appoint commissioners for defence and foreign affairs.
