Delta State governor, Sheriff Oborevweri, has sacked the information commissioner, Ifeanyi Osuoza, with immediate effect for alleged poor performance.
According to government sources, the governor had directed the commissioner for works (rural roads) Charles Aniagwu to take over the affairs of the Ministry of Information temporarily.
Accordingly, Aniagwu will resume office on Monday as both Commissioner for Information and Works.
According to government sources, the governor relieved Osuoza’s appointment as information commissioner following a series of complaints during his short stay.
The Director General, Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communication, Dr. Fred Latimo Oghenesivbe, who confirmed the development to The Guardian in Asaba, said: “the former commissioner for information, Ifeanyi Osuoza had been briefed already of the state of affairs.”
Oghenesivbe stated that there will be an official announcement to that effect by the governor but for now “Charles Aniagwu will take over the two ministries (works and information) for the meantime.”
Aniagwu had served as Chief Press Secretary (CPS) and Commissioner for Information during former governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s two-term administration before being appointed as works commissioner in charge of rural roads.
