The Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Enobong Uwah, in a circular dated 15 November, said the meeting will take place this Tuesday, 19 November, by 6 p.m. at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo.
“The Governor has directed the Secretary to the State Government to convene an urgent meeting of all political appointees under the present administration,” Mr Uwah said in the circular.
Mr Uwah stated that all commissioners and special advisers, the governor’s political and economic advisers, chairpersons and members of government boards, commissions, and agencies are invited to the meeting.
Others are honourary special advisers, senior special assistants, special assistants, and personal assistants.
A source at Government House Uyo told PREMIUM TIMES that Mr Eno will preside over the meeting.
This is the first time the governor would be calling a meeting of all his political appointees.
The meeting agenda is unclear for now, but it appears Governor Eno may talk to his appointees about his expectations of them and his disappointments with some of them so far and then set some new ground rules.
Mr Eno recently sacked the managing director of the Akwa Ibom State-owned Ibom Power Company Ltd, Meyen Etukudo, after a prolonged power outage in the state known for its stable power supply.
