on Wednesday.
The three commissioners affected in the exercise include Dr. Godwin

The two new commissioners sworn in during the meeting of the State
Executive Council include Mr. Ogbuagu Anikwe who now takes charge of

Having honed his skills in public communications over the years, the new commissioner had also worked as World Bank consultant for the Federal Inland Revenue and a number of state governments.
