According to the statement, the directive includes sole administrators of all the 23 local government areas of the state.

Others are Secretaries of Development Areas appointed by previous administration.

The notice directs most senior officials in the affected parastatals and agencies to take over affairs of such places until further instructions were issued.

Security agents and all public servants have been advised to treat any of the affected persons who purports to still be in office as a trespasser indulging in unauthorised entry.
