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.
