The Governor of Ondo State, Hon Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has dismissed from office the Special Assistant on Forestry (Central Senatorial District), Mr. Adeboye Taofiq Ewenla, with immediate effect.

Governor Aiyedatiwa also ordered a probe into the activities of those saddled with the responsibility of managing forest reserves in the State.
A replacement for Mr. Ewenla will be announced in due course.
The Governor urged all political appointees to conduct themselves in line with the provisions of the law and rules guiding their duties.
