His sack was contained in a cabinet reshuffle statement by Governor Udom Emmanuel on Monday.

It is the third cabinet rejig by the governor since he assumed office in 2015.

Swearing in the four newly appointed commissioners and five permanent secretaries at the banquet hall of the Governor’s Office on Monday, Governor Emmanuel named Uko Essien Udom (SAN) as Nwoko’s replacement.

The governor charged the appointees to put interest of the state first.

He charged the newly sworn-in commissioners on diligent service in the discharge of their duties, adding that they should shun self-aggrandizement but to work always in the interest of the 7.2 million Akwa Ibom people who they have sworn to serve.

He advised them not to be deterred by criticisms from different quarters but to bring to bear their wealth of experience as expressed in their resume in contributing towards success of the Completion Agenda.
