The Anambra State Governor, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has made another three appointments days after he was sworn in as the state governor.
Those appointed include Chief of Staff, Chairman, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service, and Special Adviser on Security to the Governor.
The appointees are Mr Ernest Ezeajughi, Chief of Staff; Mr Richard Nwora Madiebo, Chairman, Anambra State Internal Revenue Service (AIRS);
(AVM Ben Chiobi (Rtd.), Special Adviser on Security to the Governor.
Mr Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, was sworn-in earlier on Thursday, 17th March, 2021 in a low-key ceremony in Awka.
The governor, in his inaugural speech, assured residents of the state that he would work every day to make them proud.
He thanked the people for voting him at the November governorship election, just as he praised the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and the party leaders for giving him the platform to serve the people.
He particularly praised the National Chairman of APGA, Victor Oye, and the immediate past governor of the state, Willie Obiano, for their “unwavering support and commitment to the realisation of a new Anambra project”.
“As I repeatedly promised, I will work hard every day to make Anambra proud,” Mr Soludo said.
He said he would forward the list of the nominees for the commissioners to the state House of Assembly within one week.
Mr Soludo said he would immediately begin the implementation of his urban regeneration plan in the state.
The governor reiterated his position that his administration would only rely on made-in-Anambra products to encourage local production.
