Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has appointed the pioneer Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Mr. Enyinnaya Onuegbu, as his chief political adviser and head of political bureau.
This was made known yesterday in Owerri in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to the Governor, Mr. Oguwike Nwachuku.
According to the statement, his appointment takes immediate effect.
Onuegbu also had a stint as the commissioner for Power before the governor dissolved the Exco that affected him.
The statement said Uzodimma announced the appointment last Saturday at a meeting with candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Onuegbu, an ex-officio member of the APC, is a committed member of the party and has many years of experience in legal practice.
“He hails from Ngor Okpala Local Government of Imo State and as the traditional prime minister of his community, goes by the title of Ebekuodike,” the statement added.
Uzodimma urged Onuegbu to bring the wealth of experience he had acquired in the traditional, political and legal institutions into the office.
