He said the governor appreciates the dismissed officers for their contributions to the Uzodinma-led administration.

Out of the 28 commissioners, eight were left to carry on with their activities for continuity and strategic administration.
The commissioners are Health, Information, Tourism, Women Affairs, Works, Finance, Youths, and the Ministry of Technology.
Emelumba also assured that a new executive council will be constituted soon.
