The Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has sacked four of his technical assistants for alleged dereliction of duty.
The Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Kenneth Ugbala, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, said the affected officers were sacked because they were not living up to the governor’s expectations.
He added that the decision takes immediate effect.
