The Imo State Government has cut down the number of ministries in the state from 22 to 13.
The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, disclosed this after a meeting with all the Permanent Secretaries at the Government House in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Speaking through the state’s Head of Service, Mr Calistus Ekenze, he said that the new development in the State Civil Service was part of plan to restructure the civil service and make it more efficient and effective.
He also noted that due to the dwindling revenue allocation, the state government needs to cut down on cost of governance and look inwards in order to increase the Internally Generated Revenue of the state.
