The governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha on
Monday, July 18, 2016 carried out minor cabinet reshuffle that occasioned some
Commissioners being moved to other ministries.
For instance, the Commissioner for Information, Strategy, Youths
and Sports, Engineer Chidi Ibeh was moved to the Ministry of Commerce and
Industry, while Hon. Ifeanyi Ararume Junior who was in that ministry was moved
to the Ministry of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and Internal Resources.
The Commissioner for IGR Chief Vitalis Ajumbe was moved to the
Ministry of Information, and Public Utility, while Hon. Rodney Ajaelu now takes
charge in the ministry of youths, sports and public safety.
And the minor reshuffle was not for any other reason but for
strategic reasons and optimum productivity on the parts of the individual
commissioners. They had all done well in their former ministries and the
Governor in his wisdom believed that they could do better in their current
portfolios.
The truth is that none of them was shifted for non-performance
as being rumoured in some quarters. They have all been outstanding in the
discharge of their responsibilities and the governor had had the feeling that
they could do more in their new ministries.
The governor therefore wishes the concerned Commissioners
success in their new ministries.
It will be recalled that prior to this minor cabinet reshuffle,
Ministry of Commerce and Industry was referred to as Ministry of Commerce, Industry
and Tourism while Ministry of Information, Tourism and Public Utilities was
referred to as Ministry of Information, Youth and Sports.
Ministry
of Youth and Sports is now restored with responsibility for Public Safety with
the full acronym, Ministry of Youth, Sports and Public Safety.
The reassignment takes immediate effect.
