The Ebonyi government has ordered former Governor David Umahi’s commissioners two weeks to quit their state-owned residential quarters in Abakaliki.
The notice is contained in a statement signed by the secretary to the state government (SSG), Grace Umezurike, on Thursday night. Ms Umezurike, in the statement, said the measure is in line with Governor 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 said.
The statement urged the affected persons to comply accordingly.
In apparent anticipation of the measure, Mr Umahi had approved specified amounts of money for the commissioners to build or get new apartments.
