According to Onyekachi Eni, Chief Press Secretary to the
Governor, the suspended commissioners are the Commissioner for Culture and
Tourism and Commissioner for Works and Transport.
The commissioners were said to have dressed casually to a
state banquet organised for the members of the Society of Gynaecologists and
Obstetrics of Nigeria (SOGON) at the Government House on Friday night, November
23.
According to Eni, the suspension is for a period of three
months, pending the expiration of the suspension, the commissioners are not to
attend any state function.
The governor was said to have been infuriated by the
commissioners’ lacklustre dressing to the occasion which had in attendance
members of SOGON from various states of the federation. To him, this singular
attitude could dent the image of the state and create a bad impression.
Sources close to Government House revealed that the
suspension is without pay, adding that the commissioners have been directed to
hand over all government properties in their possession to their permanent
secretaries.
