The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Philip Shuaibu has commenced the relocation of his office to an area outside the vicinity of the Government House.
This action comes in response to his recent withdrawal of a lawsuit filed at the Federal High Court, which aimed to prevent alleged attempts by the state governor, Godwin Obaseki, to remove him from his position.
The new office is located at No. 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, close to the Government House.
The Head of Service sent a letter to the Permanent Secretary of the Deputy Governor’s Office, instructing her to oversee the transfer of civil servants and documents to the new office.
It was also gathered that the new office faces several challenges, including a lack of electricity, waterlogging, and limited office space.
The state government had however insisted that the deputy governor’s new office is within the confines of the area designated as the Government House.
