The state caretaker chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle, in a statement on Friday, October 21, disclosed that all key appointments would be promptly upturned, according to The Punch newspaper.

This is because, according to him, they were done in contravention of enabling laws of the institutions and regulatory protocol governing the critical rural development project.
