The Governor of Akwa Ibom State Umo Eno on Friday announced the dissolution of his cabinet.
The governor who made the announcement during a valedictory session at the Executive Council chamber in Uyo, the State capital said he was not relieving the commissioners of their duties because they underperformed, rather, there was a need to inject new hands into his administration.
He explained that while all the commissioners had delivered on their responsibilities, they would be replaced to bring in a new set of professionals.
“For me, if changes were based on non-performance, none of the commissioners would be replaced. All of you have delivered, and that is why the Arise Agenda has succeeded. However, we must conclude one season, begin another, and continue to move forward,” he said.
The governor announced that a valedictory dinner would be held on Friday evening at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo, in honour of the sacked cabinet members.
