The Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha on Friday sacked the Secretary to State Government Jude Ejiogu.
The Principal Secretary to the Governor Pascal Obi, who announced the sack in a statement in Owerri, said it was with immediate effect.
The statement directed the former SSG to hand over to the permanent secretary in his office.
It said the governor commended Ejiogu for his services to the state during his tenure and wished him well in his future endeavours.
No reason was given for the development.
Ejiogu was chief of staff to the governor in his first tenure and was made SSG in 2015.
