According to the commissioner for information and orientation, Ode Ageh, shortly after an emergency state executive council meeting on Tuesday, November 10, at the Peoples House in Makurdi, the state capital, the directive was with immediate effect.
The commissioner noted that adding to the health reason for the retirement, the government also considered their ages and performances in the civil service.
The permanent secretaries who were affected in the forced retirement are Steve Ato, Terna Iorkyaa, Joseph Okor, Akperan Anunne and Eugene Ivase.

Others are Godwin Ejembi, Shabu B., Ade John, Asen Sambe, Tor Jun and Terlumun Tsegba.
According to the dismissal, Ageh also said that even vehicles were recovered from officials of the past administration of the immediate past governor, Gabriel Suswam.
He however warned that those  still keeping properties belonging to the government of the state should endeavour to return them so as to avoid prosecution.
