In a minor cabinet reshuffle announced on
Thursday, the Governor of Enugu state,
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has dropped three
commissioners including the commissioners
for information, Godwin Udeuhele; youth
and sport, Charles Ndukwe, and inter-
governmental affairs, Smart Ogbe.
The governor’s chief press secretary,
Uwakwe Abugu, confirmed the development
to government house correspondents in
Enugu, adding that two commissioner
nominees earlier screened by the state
House of Assembly, were sworn-in during
the State Executive Council meeting.
They are: Ogbuagu Anikwe, a veteran
journalist who takes charge of the
information ministry and Joseph Udedi, the
new commissioner of youth and sport.
Until his appointment, Anikwe was the
chairman, editorial board of Business Day
Newspaper and had worked at various
times with the Guardian and Daily Times
newspapers.
Donatus Ani, the third commissioner
nominee also cleared by the assembly, was
absent during the event.
According to Abugu, the change is the first
step by the governor to reshape his cabinet
for effective delivery of good governance to
the people.
