Addressing the new permanent secretaries, the governor advised them to do their best to reposition the civil service in the state, protect the integrity of the state, and to shun corruption.

In his words: “My government has kept aside a total of N42.5b for the in-coming government, and for that reason, I will set up a sub-committee to make sure that the projects they are attached to, come to fruition even when I am out of office because government is a continuum.”

“I, therefore, charge you to serve our dear state with all your might just as I have.”

The new Head of Service is Mrs. Ngozi Eluma, while the permanent secretaries are: Mr. Donald Igbo, who will double as Accountant General; Mrs. Edith Ekenze, Mr. Elias Anyanwu, and Mr. Justus Oguoma.

Others are Mr. Reginald Oguike, Mr. Benjamin Nnamadu, Mrs. Patricia Atuechi Elebiri, Mr. George Ejiogu, Mrs. Patricia Uche Ezeonyeachi, Mrs. Ngozi Bernadine, and Mrs. Meg Obi.
