Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has sacked all senior technical assistants and technical assistants from Ivo Local Government Area of the state.
Secretary to the State Government Kenneth Ugbala stated this in a release on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the action is in keeping with government’s policy on inclusiveness.
Other appointees affected in the latest action were liaison officers and management committee members of the three development centres from the LGA.
“The affected former appointees are by this announcement directed to submit all government property in their custody to the office of the SSG before the close work on Dec. 2,” the document read.
There has been a wave of termination of appointments and resignations of political appointees in Ivo following Umahi’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The development is attributed to the rift between Umahi and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Pius Anyim who is a major stakeholder in the area.
