Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has suspended three commissioners for absenteeism during a State Executive Council meeting held on Monday.
The affected commissioners are Solomon Azi (Grants and Donor Agencies), Victor Chukwu (Environment), and Ikeuwa Omebe (Rural Development).
Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, Jude Okpor, disclosed the suspension on Tuesday during a briefing on the meeting’s outcomes.
He said the governor has zero tolerance for absenteeism and a lackadaisical attitude among public servants.
Gov. Nwifuru directed that the suspended commissioners be stripped of all privileges attached to their offices for the duration of the suspension.
He also issued a stern warning to contractors handling government projects in the state, urging them to expedite their work in line with contractual agreements.
The governor cautioned that the government would not hesitate to employ all legal measures to ensure compliance and timely project delivery.
