Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru has dismissed Works Commissioner Stanley Lebechi Mbam from his position immediately. This decision, announced by the governor's Chief Press Secretary Monday Uzor, was detailed in a statement released on Saturday. The governor has ordered Mbam to surrender all government assets under his control, including his official vehicle, to the State Government Secretary.
Additionally, he must transfer his duties to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works. The governor's announcement did not provide a reason for Mbam's removal. This is not the first time Mbam has faced disciplinary action from the governor; in March 2026, he had been placed on indefinite suspension due to alleged neglect of duty, along with another official.
The governor subsequently recalled the suspended officials, though it remains unclear which ones were reinstated.
