Wike sacks commissioner for health
As Rivers state still basks in the euphoria of the visit of Professor Osinbajo, Nigeria’s Acting President, the Rivers State governor, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, on Wednesday announced the removal of the State’s Commissioner for Health, Dr Theophilus Odagme, from his appointment as a commissioner in the State Executive Council.
In a terse press statement signed by the governor’s Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, the governor said that the sack was with immediate effect. No reason was given for the action.
Briefing journalists after the Rivers State Executive Council meeting in Port Harcourt, on the development, the State Information Commissioner, Dr. Austin Tam-George, who earlier announced the sack, noted that the governor wished the former commissioner well in his future endeavour.
