The Ebonyi State Government has warned individuals currently lobbying for permanent secretary positions in the state’s civil service, to desist from the act as government was taking its time to fill the vacancies.

Gov. Dave Umahi a fortnight ago compulsorily retired all permanent secretaries, except the Clerk of the State House of Assembly, Mrs Rose Nwokporo.

Sen. Emmanuel Onwe, Commissioner for Information and State Orientation, gave the warning on Friday while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the State Executive Council (EXCO) meeting.
Onwe said that the concerned individuals had been lobbying for the positions directly and indirectly to the discontentment of the state government.

“These people should be aware that the governor is not in a hurry to replace the retired permanent secretaries and when eventually it comes, it would be on merit.

“They should give the governor, his deputy and other top government officials, the needed peace and respite instead of the barrage of disturbances in form of lobbying.

“They are therefore warned to desist from this act to enable government functionaries concentrate on their task of effectively piloting the state’s affairs,” he said.
