The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, has dissolved his cabinet, stating that his administration requires fresh energy.

He made this announcement on Friday during a valedictory session at the Executive Council chamber in Uyo, the state capital.

The governor clarified that none of the commissioners had underperformed but that he needed to bring in new individuals to join his administration.

Eno stressed that while all the commissioners had delivered on their responsibilities, they would be replaced to bring in a new set of professionals.

“For me, if changes were based on non-performance, none of the commissioners would be replaced. All of you have delivered, and that is why the Arise Agenda has succeeded. However, we must conclude one season, begin another, and continue to move forward,” he said.

The governor announced that a valedictory dinner would be held on Friday evening at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo, in honour of the sacked cabinet members.

It is understands that most of the commissioners had served under the Udom Emmanuel administration for eight years.
