Mr Udom Emmanuel, The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, has appointed Akparawa Ephraim Inyang-eyen as his Chief of Staff.
Until his appointment, Akparawa Inyang-eyen served the State as the Commissioner for Works.
According to the Commissioner for Information, Sir Charles Udoh who briefed the press today immediately after State Executive Council meeting, the appointment takes immediate effect.
According to the State Information boss, Ephraim Inyang-eyen is to also supervise the
Ministry of Works until a new substantive Commissioner for Works is appointed.
It could be recalled that after the election of Governor Udom Emmanuel in 2015, Ephraim Inyang-eyen who was the President of Transformation Initiative for the Emancipation of Ibom People, a foremost platform for the election of the Governor was tipped for the office of the Chief of Staff to the Governor.
This however did not see the light of the day owing to the political influence of the time.
