“Your Services No Longer Required…With Immediate Effect” Udom Emmanuel Tells CSO
was appointed the Chief of Staff in June 2020.
“Your services are no longer required and you are hereby relieved of your position…with immediate effect” Governor Udom Emmanuel has informed his Chief of Staff, Ephraim Inyan-Eyen.
Inyang – Eyen, a former commissioner for works was appointed the Chief of Staff in June 2020.
But on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, the Governor of Akwa – Ibom state relieved him of the position through a letter signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Emmanuel Ekuwuem.
The letter informed the CSO that “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…
“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.
“You are therefore directed to hand over all property of government in your possession to the Secretary to State Government”
There are , however, claims that the decision to sack the CSO may not be unconnected by his refusal to abide by the wishes of the Governor and the party regarding his Senatorial ambition.
