The governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, on Saturday sacked the state Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, Ford Ozumba.
Oguwike Nwachuku, who is the Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to the Governor confirmed the sacking of Ozumba in a statement he issued in Owerri, the state capital.
The statement read “governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has approved the immediate removal of Chief Ford Ozumba, the State Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, from office.
“In a terse statement on Saturday, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba said, “Accordingly, His Excellency further directs that Chief Ozumba hands over to the Permanent Secretary of his Ministry with immediate effect.”
Ozumba’s, removal may not be unconnected with the brawl between the state government and the national leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
