In a move that is set to reshape the political landscape of Anambra state, Governor Chukwuma Soludo has appointed two individuals from outside the state as permanent secretaries.
Adebayo Ojeyinka, an indigene of Osun state, and Joachin Achor from Abia state, were among the 18 new permanent secretaries announced on Friday by the governor’s press secretary, Christian Aburime.
This decision marks a significant departure from tradition, where top civil service positions in Anambra have historically been reserved for indigenes of the state. The appointments come amidst ongoing reforms spearheaded by Governor Soludo, who has pledged to prioritize transparency, accountability, and meritocracy within the state government.
