Ebonyi State Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon . Nkah Chinedu has been reportedly suspended, Newsmax Nigeria has learnt.
A Source told our correspondent on Thursday that the Commissioner was secretly suspended over “non performance” .
“Yes, I can confidently tell you that he was suspended but no official statement yet by the authorities,” the source said.
When our correspondent contacted the Special Assistant on New Media Aide, Leo Oketa to confirm the suspension, he said he will get back to us as he is currently with His Excellency, Francis Ogbonnaya Nwifuru in a meeting.
As at the time of filing this report, he is yet to get back to us.
Recall that the Commissioner two days ago said Ebonyi State Government has called on the Federal Government to immediately revamp and complete the Ishiagu/Mpu Federal dam under construction to avert more loss of lives and properties in the Area.
He explained that the dam which is located between Ishiagu area in Ebonyi and Mpu in Enugu was designed to mitigate the water problems faced by the people of Ishiagu and Mpu, Okpanku people in Aniri Council area of Enugu state but that the inability of the Federal Government to complete the project at the stipulated time has made it become a death trap to the host communities.
According to him, many homes have been rendered homeless by the uncompleted dam and large portions of farmland destroyed.
