Umahi swears in new-SSG

The Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, on Tuesday, swore-in Dr Hyginus Nwokwu as the new Secretary to the State Government (SSG) to replace Prof. Bernard Odoh.

Odoh tendered his resignation letter to  Umahi on Monday over alleged government’s inconsistent policies, but the governor in a reaction  said Odoh has been sacked. Umahi while swearing-in the new SSG, vowed that after reviewing Odoh’s resignation letter, he would prosecute him to probe the allegations he made in the letter.

He congratulated the new appointee and noted that it was a decision that has made a lot of people happy.

“Nwokwu is the deputy director of our divine mandate platform and though he was denied of choice appointments and elevations in the past, he never complained.”

Nwokwu in his reaction, said that he accepted the appointment wholeheartedly and pledged to discharge his duties with dedication. (NAN).
