Gov. Soludo sacks all political appointees
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has directed all political appointees in the state to hand over their duties with immediate effect, barely 24 hours after his inauguration for a second term.
The directive is contained in a circular issued on Wednesday by the Office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).
The circular was signed by the permanent secretary, Office of the Secretary to the State Government, Nwabufor Nwankwo.
According to the circular, affected appointees are to hand over to permanent secretaries or, in their absence, the most senior civil servant in their respective ministries, departments and agencies.
It stated that the handover process must be completed on or before the close of work on the same day, pending the constitution of a new cabinet.
“I am directed to inform all political appointees to hand over to the Permanent Secretaries or the most senior civil servant in the various MDAs on or before the close of work today, until a new cabinet is constituted,” the circular read.
The government also directed all first-term cabinet members to meet with the governor on March 23 at 10 a.m. at the Anambra State Executive Council Chambers.
