Dr Bassey Okon, Commissioner for Special Duties, has been sacked by Governor Umo Eni of Akwa Ibom State.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Enobong Uwah.
The statement, however, failed to give a reason for his dismissal.
“In an ongoing effort to reposition this administration in line with the ARISE Agenda, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr Umo Eno, has relieved Dr Bassey Okon, Commissioner for Special Duties, as Commissioner in the Akwa Ibom Executive Council with immediate effect,” the statement partly read.
Okon was directed to hand over all property of government in his position, to the permanent secretary in the ministry.
