“One of the duties of the Committee, in line with Ekiti State Transition Law, is to ensure the payment of entitlements of political office holders including their terminal benefits.

“His Excellency Dr. John Kayode Fayemi has approved that the services of all Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Technical Assistants, and Executives Assistants would end on 31st July 2022 to enable the State Government to process all outstanding allowances of the affected officials more so that the Government is winding up.”
