Governor Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State has suspended the Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Home Affairs, Olaiya Atibioke for two weeks and the suspension takes immediate effect.
According to a press statement by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Governor, Yinka Oyebode, the suspension follows the Atibioke’s unauthorised departure from the venue of the three-day retreat for members of the State Executive Council and Permanent Secretaries held at Bishop Adetiloye Hall, Trade Fair Complex, Ado-Ekiti on Saturday.
The statement revealed that the Commissioner had left the venue of the retreat without permission, adding that the commissioner was nowhere to be found when commissioners were called upon to sign the performance charter.
Governor Oyebanji had sat through all the sessions of the three-day retreat which commenced on Thursday. He had, in the course of his presentation, reiterated the administration’s zero tolerance for indiscipline and poor performance.
