Two Abia State commissioners have resigned from their positions.
Tendering their letters on Wednesday were Chima Oriaku, Commissioner for Science and Technology, and Prof. Mrs. Monica Ironkwe, Commissioner for Agriculture.
Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, confirmed the news but offered no reason for the resignations.
Ukoha said: “The two commissioners resigned from the Cabinet. No one was sacked. Disregard the trending rumours.
“The Executive Governor thanked them for their service and sacrifice to the State and wish them well in their future endeavours.”Our correspondent reports that news about the termination began circulating shortly after the State’s Executive Council meeting, presided over by the Governor.”
The development followed the recent dismissal of Dr. Ngozi Okoronkwo, the Commissioner for Health, during a State Executive Council meeting presided over by the Governor in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South local government area.
