Mystery Clouds Governor’s Sack Of Special Duties Commissioner

 Gov. Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom has relieved the Commissioner for Special Duties, Dr Bassey Okon, of his appointment with immediate effect.

Mr Enobong Uwah, the Secretary to the State Government, disclosed this in a statement in Uyo on Monday.

Uwah, who did not give reasons for the commissioner’s sack, directed him to hand over all state government property in his possession to the permanent secretary.

He thanked the former commissioner for the period he served the state, and wished the commissioner well in his future endeavours.

GWG.ng reports that mystery has followed the development especially given that no reason was given for the decision of the governor. The sacked commissioner was one of the commissioners inherited from the immediate past administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel.

Governor Eno had retained all the commissioners who served in the immediate past administration noting that they were part of the winning team of which he was part of.

The decision to sack Dr Okon has as such left many in wonder over what could have prompted the decision of the governor.
