Governor Hope Uzodimma’s impending swearing-in of 16 Commissioners, this week is expected to break the shackles of sluggish governance in the State since the beginning of 2024.
After being screened and cleared by the Imo State House of Assembly last month, familiar faces such as Declan Emelumba and Ralph Nwosu are among those set to be sworn in for a second time.
Since his second inauguration on January 16, 2024, the absence of a State Executive Council has significantly crippled government activities, plunging the pace of governance to an unprecedented low.
However, with the imminent swearing in of Commissioners, observers anticipate a significant uptick in administrative momentum throughout Uzodimma’s second term.
While the appointments of Special Advisers and Senior Special Assistants remain pending, insiders suggest that these positions may be filled following the Commissioner swearing-in ceremony, further signaling a revitalization of governance in Imo State.
