- Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has suspended the state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Moses Ekuma, and the Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Francis Ori.
- The suspensions were announced during the State Executive Council meeting in Abakaliki, the state capital, on Monday.
- Dr. Ekuma was suspended for three months, while Francis Ori’s suspension is indefinite.
- The suspensions are reportedly connected to allegations of gross misconduct, dereliction of duties, and theft of property belonging to the Ministry of Health.
Governor Francis Nwifuru’s decision to suspend the two commissioners is a significant step towards addressing the alleged misconduct and ensuring accountability within the state government. The suspensions are also seen as a response to the recent allegations of theft and diversion of government materials within the Ministry of Health.
The development is part of the governor’s efforts to restore transparency and accountability in the state government. The suspensions are expected to pave the way for a thorough investigation into the allegations and ensure that those found guilty are held accountable.
