The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, on Monday swore in 18 commissioners following their confirmation by the Anambra State House of Assembly.
Soludo, who performed the function at the Executive Council Chambers of the Government House, otherwise known as the “Light House”, in Awka, charged the newly appointed officials to deliver optimal service to the people of Anambra State.
He urged his new cabinet to prioritise the “Anambra spirit” of excellence, calling on them to shift their focus from the traditional celebration of political appointments to selfless public service and strict adherence to their oaths of office.
The commissioners include Ben Odoemena (Agriculture); Chukwukadibia Okoye (Budget and Economic Planning); Udoji Amedu (Culture, Entertainment and Tourism); and Dr Ekene Ogugua (Education).
