The Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi, on Tuesday, inaugurated four new commissioners just 20 days before the end of his tenure in the state.
The quartet replaced four commissioners who resigned from the state executive council to pursue their 2023 elections ambitions in May last year.
The new commissioners are – Chief Enekwachi Akpa (Governor’s Office and Local Government Projects), Dr. Obianuja Gertrude Alo (Aviation and Technology), Barr. Emeka Nwode (Governor’s Office and Legal Services) and Mr. Uchenna Nwakpuma (Governor’s Office, Stadium).
