Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has sacked Commissioner for Information, Mr. Paul Nwosu, citing incompetence as the primary reason.
Nwosu, who held the position since Soludo administration began in 2022, was relieved of his duties on Tuesday.
A source close to the matter revealed that Nwosu’s removal was due to his failure to effectively manage his portfolio.
During his tenure, Nwosu reportedly had a limited presence in public engagement, failing to hold press conferences or maintain regular communication with journalists.
Mr. Law Mefor has been nominated to replace Nwosu, pending confirmation by the Anambra State House of Assembly. Mefor’s appointment is expected to be approved shortly.
Despite his dismissal, Nwosu claimed his departure was voluntary, citing personal reasons.
He stated that he had served for eight years under former Governor Willie Obiano’s administration and continued in Soludo’s government, but sources dispute this claim.
