Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has dissolved his cabinet, emphasizing the need for a fresh team of professionals to advance his administration’s goals.
Speaking during a valedictory session on Friday, Eno praised the outgoing commissioners, noting their contributions to the success of the Arise Agenda. He clarified that the decision was not based on performance issues but a desire to start a new phase of governance.
“For me, if you were to be changed based on non-performance, I think none of the Commissioners would go. All of you have delivered,” the governor said. The outgoing commissioners, many of whom served under former Governor Udom Emmanuel, were retained to be compensated for their service during the transition period that ended on May 29, 2023.
A valedictory dinner is scheduled for Friday evening at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo, to honor the former cabinet members.
