Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has mandated that all political appointees resign from their positions effective immediately. This directive comes less than 24 hours after he was sworn in for a second term.
The announcement was made in a circular released on Wednesday by the Office of the Secretary to the State Government (SSG).
This circular was signed by Dr. Nwabufor Nwankwo, who serves as the Permanent Secretary of the SSG.
The document instructs the political appointees to hand over their responsibilities to the Permanent Secretaries or, in their absence, to the most senior civil servant within their respective Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
The handover process must be completed by the end of the workday, pending the formation of a new cabinet.
The circular reads, “I am directed to inform all political appointees to hand over to the Permanent Secretaries or the most senior civil servant in the various MDAs on or before the close of work today, until a new cabinet is constituted.”
Additionally, the governor has requested that all members of the first-term cabinet convene on March 23 at 10 a.m. in the Anambra State Executive Council Chambers.
This directive marks a significant shift in the administrative landscape of Anambra, reflecting Soludo's intentions for his second term in office.
