Naijaonpoint reports that this was communicated in a Government Special Announcement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday evening by the State Head of Service, Mrs Inyingi Brown.
According to the Special Announcement, the office of the State Accountant General will handle the functions of the Board until a new board is constituted.
