Mr Ifeatu Onejeme, the Commissioner for Finance in Anambra State, has resigned.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Onejeme was appointed Commissioner for Finance by Governor Charles Soludo at the beginning of the administration. He had also previously served as Commissioner for Finance during the administration of the immediate past governor, Willie Obiano.

“On behalf of the government and great people of Anambra State, I wish to express our gratitude for your commitment, professionalism and great service to Anambra State over the past nine and half years as Commissioner,” Soludo wrote. “I particularly appreciate your services over the past year and five months as you worked diligently to facilitate a seamless transition from the previous administration to the current one. While we will miss your services, I appreciate your personal and family circumstances that warrant the resignation. Here is wishing you success in your future endeavors and hope that you will continue to avail your services in the development of Anambra/Nigeria in other spheres. With all best wishes.”
