The dissolution of the state executive cabinet and its related aides was mandated by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and will take effect on Friday, May 26, 2023.
In a memo published on Wednesday, Head of Service Hakeem Muri-Okunola announced the order.
Known as Circular 046 and under the heading “End of Political Office holders-Cabinet/non-cabinet ranks.”
The circular stressed the requirement for asset disclosure in accordance with paragraph 11 (1b), part one of Nigeria’s constitution’s fifth schedule, which deals with end-of-tenure asset disclosure.

Commissioners, Special Advisers (cabinet and non-cabinet), and all Assistants (Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Personal Assistants, Technical Assistants, Personal Aide, etc.) are among the officers impacted by this directive.
The accounting officer or the most senior director of their respective ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) should receive any government property that is in these officials’ possession, including utility/project vehicles, according to the governor’s instructions.
The circular clarified, “However, political appointees whose appointments are by legislation/tenure-based and members of statutory commissions/Governing Councils that their tenure have not lapsed, are not affected by the directive, unless otherwise formally informed.”
After winning the state’s governorship election on March 18, Sanwo-Olu is about to begin his second term as governor following his inauguration on Monday.
