Ikpeazu swears in 5 Perm Secs
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State on Monday swore five permanent secretaries into office, directing them to promote the development agenda of the state government.
Governor Ikpeazu at the swearing-in ceremony at the Government House, Umuahia, urged the new permanent secretaries to evolve ideas that would give impetus to the vision of the government to transform the state.
He told them to abide by their oaths of office and ensure their personal interests do not influence their official conducts.
`Your coming on board is strategic and government will not accommodate anyone that will slow down the wheel of governance.
“Adapt to and understand our vision and pursue it with ruthless tenacity.
“Also cultivate a cordial relationship with your colleagues and evolve programmes that would enhance the performance of the ministries you will be assigned to,” the governor said.
Governor Ikpeazu expressed confidence that the new permanent secretaries would discharge their duties effectively.
One of the new permanent secretaries, Mrs. Ugonwa Ejiogu, thanked the state government for the elevation and honour done them.
Ejiogu assured that they would live up to expectations in the discharge of their duties.
The new permanent secretaries include Mrs. Chiazom Balogu, Mrs. Ijeoma Onuoha-Ogwe, Mr. Iheanyichi Akoma and Mr. Charles Ifenkwe.
