Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State on Monday sworn in 13 newly appointed permanent secretaries, charging them to align with his administration’s delivery-oriented governance model.
The new Permanent Secretaries are Mr Chigbogu Nnaji, Mrs Phoebe Edeh, Mr Philip Arum, Mr Jeremiah Egbonwonu and Mrs Ifeoma Igwe.
Others were Mrs Ngozi Egbo, Mrs Nkiru Ede-Ogunnaike, Mrs Pamela Ikpa, Mr Canice Ngene, Mr Anyaora Okereke, Mrs Adaobi Nwodo, Mr Ikechukwu Ezenwukwa, and Paul Nwabuisi.
According to the governor, there would be no honeymoon period for them in office.
He noted that the appointments were strictly merit-based, having emerged from a rigorous and transparent selection process, while also filling existing vacancies in the civil service to promote equality, inclusion and fairness.
Governor Mbah also reminded them that so much responsibility accompanied their elevation, pointing out that the reward for hard work was more work.
“I believe you worked very hard to get to this level in your career, and you went through a very rigorous process to be selected.
“So, it is well deserved. But let me also remind you that the honeymoon is over. To whom much is given, much is expected,” he said.
