Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has dissolved all boards of over 400 government-owned agencies.
The move is viewed as a renewed repositioning and in line with current political realities.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media, Mr Femi Adesina, said on Thursday night in a statement that the dissolution was with immediate effect.
The dissolved board members were appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan who governed Nigeria for six years on the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
President Buhari early in the week sacked the Defence chiefs appointed by Jonathan and replaced them with new generals to give a renewed impetus to the military.
He had earlier sacked the Board of Directors of the highly controversial Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
The NNPC sackings were aimed at paving the way for the ongoing probe of missing billions of dollars in the corporation.
The president had also sacked the Director General of Nigeria's secret police, the Directorate of State Security (DSS).
DSS was largely regarded as populated by the agents of the defeated PDP.
President Buhari also on Thursday terminated the appointment of Mr Patrick Akpobolokem, as the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.
Mr Adesina, who also announced Mr Akpobolokem's sacking, did not give reasons for the action.
He, however, explained that Mr Akpobolokem had been directed to handover to the most senior officer in the agency.
