From Boniface Okoro, Umuahia

Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, will inaugurate the newly appointed Transition Committee Chairmen and their Deputies who will administer the 17 local government areas of the state today (Friday, February 10, 2023).

The swearing-in ceremony has been slated to hold at the Executive Council Chambers of Government House, Umuahia by 9am prompt.

The ceremony follows the thorough screening of the appointees by members of the state House of Asembly and confirmation.

The Speaker of the House, Rt. Hin. Chinedum Orji, on behalf of the House Members, congratulated the screened Transition Chairmen and their Deputies and urged them to be proactive in the discharge of their duties and take the message of the government progress down to the grassroots. 

The Speaker admonished them to bury the thoughts that they were appointed to enrich themselves or for personal gains, rather they should work hard for the people, help raise standard of lives in their respective areas and provide social services to the people.
