The
Society for A Better Imo has faulted the appointment of a legal practitioner as
commissioner for Health in Imo State.
Governor Rochas
Okorocha had sworn in new Commissioners and named a legal practitioner, Barr
(Mrs) Ngozi Njoku as Commissioner for Health last Thursday.
A short email statement
to INNONEWS.COM and signed by the group’s president, Ferdinand Okoro, said the
appointment is a case of a square peg in a round hole.
“The appointment of Mrs
Njoku is a clear case of a square peg in a round hole. This is unacceptable and
reinforces the impression that the state government is not truly committed to
tackle various problems in the health sector in the State.
“While we do not fault
Mrs. Njoku’s competence, we believe she would have done better in her chosen
field of human endeavour which is the legal profession rather than exposing her
to a sector which is totally ignorant and incompetent.
However, the State Governor, after eight
months after his re- election as governor of the State inaugurated the State
Executive Council.
Former House of Assembly member, Innocent
Ekeh was announced commissioner for Community Government Council (CGC) and
Chieftaincy Affairs, while Mrs Josephine Udorji was sworn in as commissioner
for Works and Transport.
Others are Ifeanyi
Araraume (Jnr), Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Chidi Ibe (Information).
Others are Vitalis
Ajumbe (Internal Resources and pension matters), while Obinna Mbata was
appointed Commissioner for finance.
Mr. Udo Agoha was named Agriculture minister
