Udom Emmanuel, the governor of Akwa Ibom State, has sacked his Chief of Staff, Akparawa Ephraim Inyangeyen, with immediate effect.
The sack was contained in a letter signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem, dated February 22, 2022 and addressed to the former Chief of Staff.
Ekuwem, the SSG, said that the sack became necessary due to the urgent need to match skill sets and competencies to the task of maintaining the momentum of economic development required in the state.
“On behalf of His Excellency, the Governor, government and the good people of Akwa Ibom State, I write to convey to you His Excellency, the Governor’s profound appreciation of the worthy contributions you made to the development of our dear State while you served as Chief of Staff to the Governor,” the letter partly read.
“However, given the urgent need to match skill set and competencies to the task of maintaining the momentum of economic development in peace, your services are no longer required and you are hereby relieved of your position, as Chief of Staff (CoS) to His Excellency, the Governor with immediate effect.”
