Hope Uzodimma, governor of Imo, has dissolved the state
executive council with immediate effect.
Amaka Okafor, aide to Uzodimma, confirmed the dissolution to
TheCable on Wednesday.
Okafor said the governor dissolved the 28-member cabinet,
while retaining eight commissioners for continuity.
“The governor, at his discretion, decided that it became
necessary to rejig and re-energise the system for maximum productivity,” she
said.
Those retained are the commissioners for information, works,
women affairs, technology, finance, health, sports, and tourism.
Declan Emelumba, commissioner for information, who also
addressed journalists on Wednesday in Imo, said the governor assured the former
commissioners that they will still be found relevant in other areas if
eventually they do not make the new cabinet.
Emelumba added that a new cabinet will be reconstituted
soon.
This is the first major cabinet reshuffle of the Imo state
government since Uzodimma assumed office in January 2020.
