GOVERNOR IKPEAZU SWEARS IN 27 NEW COMMISSIONERS IN ABIA

Reports indicate that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State on Tuesday swore in 27 new Commissioners in Umuahia, the State capital.


Some of the commissioners and their portfolios are Donatus Okorie, Ministry of Cooperatives and Rural Development; Ndom Godwin, Ministry of Boundary Matters; Okezie Erondu, Ministry of Science and Technology, and Ikechi Mgbeoji, Ministry of Agriculture.


Others are Pascal Karibe Ojigwe, Ministry of Sports; Uwaoma Olewengwa, Ministry of Industry Promotion and Development; Christopher Enweremadu, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, and Charles Esonu, Ministry of Youth Development.


The rest are Chinagorom Nwankpa, Ministry of Housing; Monday Ehilegbu, Parastatals; Rose Urenta, Ministry of Women Affairs, Kingsley Imaga, Ministry of Public Utilities, and Chidiebere Kalu, Ministry of Establishment and Training.


Governor Okezie said that the new Commissioners were expected to support the Government to create a better life for the people of Abia.


He said; “Let me warn that there is nothing juicy anywhere. If your agenda is to come and make money you will be disappointed after the first month.


“If your agenda is to work and bring your experience and knowledge to bear and to make meaningful contributions to our dear state, then you will find enough challenges to make your work exciting.


“This is my way of saying ‘call to duty’ and nothing more than that.


“The office of the commissioner is not a place for one to mark time. If you have no business in the Executive Council, we will show you the back door.’’


Responding on behalf of his colleagues, Eze Chikamnayo, Commissioner for Information, thanked the State Government for the privilege given to serve the people of Abia.


“We will not let you down and we will render service to the people of Abia,” he said.
