Ortom sacks four commissioners

In what looked like a palace coup, governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State yester­day, sent packing from his cabinet, four commissioners over undisclosed reasons.

This followed weeks of speculations in that regards.

Those affected by the shakeup according to information available to The Authority include, Mr Nick Wende of Water Re­sources and Environment, Ode Ageh, Information and Orientation, Sekave Iortyom ,Culture and Tourism as well as Mrs Mwuse Myim of Women Affairs and Social Development

The AUTHORITY gath­ered that though the rea­sons for their sack remained sketchy, inside sources hint­ed that the affected Com­missioners may have been relieved of their duties ow­ing to certain administrative lapses.
