Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has appointed himself as the Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Physical Planning in the state as he swore in 24 Commissioners and 19 Special Advisers as new members of the newly expanded State Executive Council.
At the swearing-in ceremony held in Owerri, the state capital on Tuesday, Uzodimma said his decision to take charge of the Land Ministry was because of the need to restore the confidence of the residents in the ministry.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, the governor noted that his self-appointment will rid the ministry of “criminal-minded fellows who portrayed the government in a bad light.”
