Speaking after the swearing-in ceremony in
Awka, the governor said they should see their
appointments as a privilege.
He told them: “Serving under this
administration is an honour for yourselves and
we look up to you to assist in moving the
state forward. What you have just signed is
your job specification with time frame for
performance monitoring, which is usually
every100 days. So you will only stay as part of
the team if you are found worthy.”
Administering the oath, the Director of Civil
Litigation, Mr Emeka Ike, explained that the
appointment was in accordance with the
provision of Sections 190 and 194 of the
Constitution of Nigeria.
Responding on behalf of the commissioners,
Nwogu expressed gratitude to the governor for
finding them worthy to serve the state,
promising that they would maintain the tempo
of development.
She pledged their dedication in ensuring the
success of Governor Obiano’s four pillars of
development in the areas of agriculture, oil
and gas, trade and commerce and
industrialization.

I am looking to see d fate of d former occupants who d Gov has not given quit notice

How can you appoint someone on a post already occupied by someone else without firing the former.

Hmmm, I hope my Governor doesn't need brain resetting.

Only in nigeria such happens. In Nigeria, a Govt that's comatized even sacked people in coma
