Okezie Ikpeazu, the governor of Abia State, has named Chukwuemeka Enwereji to be his new chief of staff.
Onyebuchi Ememanka, the governor’s chief press secretary, said this in a statement on Wednesday.
It states that Enwereji has a bachelor’s degree in law from Abia State University and a master’s degree in law from the University of Lagos. Additionally, he graduated from the Nigerian Law School and was admitted to the Nigerian Bar.
“An established player in the financial services sector of the Nigerian economy, Mr Enwereji served as Company Secretary and later, General Manager/Country Head of Travelex, a well-known global Financial Services provider,” the statement read.
“In his new role, Mr Enwereji will coordinate the activities of the office of the Governor, ensuring seamless exit formalities for the administration.”
The governor’s spokesman added that the appointment takes immediate effect.
Last Thursday, the governor approved the immediate sack of all political appointees in the state.
Those affected included Special Assistants, Senior Special Assistants, Special Advisers and Technical Officers, thereby increasing the number of appointees sacked by the governor after his failed senatorial election bid and his inability to install his successor.
