Edo State Deputy Governor, Mr. Philip Shaibu, yesterday, officially resumed at his new office outside the Government House.

A visit to the facility situated at No 7, Dennis Osadebey Avenue, close to the emergency gate of the government House, the security man at the gate denied the reporters entry as he claimed they did not possess a Government House identification card but some civil servants were sighted already moving into the new office while some workers were sighted still cleaning the compound.

Also sighted were some plain clothes security aides to the deputy governor, who drove into the facility and later left.

A memo directing the relocation to the new office was allegedly issued last week by the Permanent Secretary, Office of the Head of Service (HoS) to the Permanent Secretary, Deputy Governor’s Office and a reminder was issued over the weekend.

An aide to Shaibu while confirming the development said, “We have been told to move and we have started moving today. The memo was sent directly to the Permanent Secretary, it was a two paragraph memo from the HoS.

“But the civil servants are the ones moving right now, the letter was sent to the PS so we are waiting for directives. The civil servants are moving today but we may move before the end of the week.”
