The Ebonyi State Government has given former Gov. David Umahi’s commissioners two weeks to quit the state-owned residential quarters they are occupying in Abakaliki.
The notice is contained in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Grace Umezurike, and made available to newsmen on Thursday night.
Umezurike, in the statement, said that the measure is in line with Gov. Francis Nwifuru’s directives.
“All residents of the commissioners’ quarters are hereby requested to vacate their premises.
This is to facilitate the entry of the new commissioners into the quarters.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” the statement read
The statement urged the affected persons to take immediate note and comply accordingly.
It was gathered that in an apparent anticipation of the measure, Umahi had approved specified amounts of money for the commissioners to build or get new abodes before leaving office on May 29th.
