Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has ordered the suspension of Dr. Julie C. Onyeukwu, Chairman of the State Civil Service Commission, with immediate effect.
The decision, announced late Thursday through a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, Public Orientation and Strategy, Chief Declan Emelumba, did not state specific reasons for the action.
According to the directive, Dr. Onyeukwu is expected to hand over all government property in her possession to the Permanent Secretary of the commission or, in the absence of that, to the most senior officer available.
The statement read in part: “The Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, has approved the suspension of the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission, Dr. Julie C. Onyeukwu, with immediate effect. The suspended Chairman is to hand over all government property in her possession to the Permanent Secretary or the most senior person in the commission.”
