“The Governor thanked the Commissioner for his service to the state and wished him well in his future endeavours,” he said.
Nehikhare quoted Obaseki as saying that “It is unfortunate that we have not been able to make the envisaged progress in our road infrastructure, particularly in the last 12 months.”
“And sadly, the commissioner, as much as he had tried, had not been able to make significant progress for the state government to achieve its goal.”
Nehikhare said the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Engr. Osikhena Ojior would take charge until a new commissioner is appointed.
