Indications have emerged that the Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode sacked all Boards of Parastatals and Agencies because of the need to give other people a chance since some heads and members of the boards have occupied their positions for about eight years.

The governor on Monday dissolved all Boards of Parastatals and Agencies constituted by former Governor Babatunde Fashola.

Affected by Ambode's decision are Remi Makanjuola, Chairman, Lagos State Security Trust Fund and its members; Rev. Solomon Adegbolagun, Chairman, Lagos State Chriistian Pilgrims Welfare Board and his counterpart in the Muslims Pilgrims Welfare Board and its members, Oladisun Holloway, Chairman, Lagbus Asset Management and a former Commissioner in Fashola's cabinet, among several others.

A top government source told P.M.NEWS that  there was no way Ambode could work with these boards as they did not fit into his plans to reposition Lagos.

Another source said "after all, when Fashola took over from former Governor Bola Tinubu, he dissolved all the boards constituted by Tinubu."

The governor had in a statement from the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Tunji Bello  approved the dissolution of all Boards of Parastatals and Agencies of Government with immediate effect.

According to the statement, parastatals not affected by the dissolution are the Civil Service Commission, Judicial Service Commission and the State Independent Electoral Commission.

While expressing the appreciation of the Governor for the modest contribution of members of the dissolved Boards, Bello wished them well in their future endeavours.

The statement added that constitution of new boards would be effected in due course.

P.M.NEWS gathered that more heads will still roll in Alausa as the governor is determined to purge the system of the old brigade.

Many of the heads of parastatals and agencies appointed by Fashola will soon be shown the way out to pave way for those who worked for the emergence of Ambode as governor.

Last week, the governor was said to have visited the Lagos Internal Revenue Service, LIRS and met the chairman of the agency, Tunde Fowler on seat.

Ambode was said to have asked Fowler: "Are you still there?" With the governor's rhetorical question, Fowler sensed that the game was up and quickly tendered his resignation.

Also the Chairman, Lagos State Public Works Cooperation, Gbenga Akinola was recently relieved of his job by Ambode, with the agency now merged with the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure.

Many heads of agencies have started getting set to leave office as the mass purge may sweep them off any moment from now
