In a press statement signed by the state commissioner for communication and orientation, Mr. Chris Osa Nehikhare, the stste Governor thanked Engineer Okojie for his service to the state and wished him well in his future endeavours.
The statement said that, “it is unfortunate that we have not been able to make the envisaged progress in our road infrastructure particularly in the last 12 months.”
“And sadly, the commissioner as much as he had tried, had not been able to make significant progress for the state government to achieve its goal”, Commissioner Nehikhare stated.
“The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Engr. Osikhena Omoh Ojio, FNSE, FNICE, will take charge until a new Commissioner is appointed”, the statement concluded.
