He said the state cabinet is expected to be dissolved by Friday.

The Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, who made the announcement, stated that they needed to handover, as a result of the dissolution of his cabinet in preparation for the swearing in ceremony on 29th May.

Sanwo-Olu’s decision, meanwhile, did not affect government appointees whose tenures were yet to expire as guided by relevant laws of their establishments, especially those tenured and approved by the state House of Assembly.
