Fear has gripped the appointees of Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru following the directive of the governor that they must present their official cars to the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Grace Umezuruike.
The governor purchased JAC SUVs for Special Assistants, Prado SUVs for Commissioners and Senior Special Assistants, amongst other officials, at millions of naira each.
Though no reason was given for the presentation of the vehicles by the government officials, which must be done physically according to the governor’s directive, it was learnt that many of them have sold their own, prompting the governor to direct the presentation.
A statement tagged operation “show your vehicle”, signed by Secretary to the State Government, Professor Grace Umezuruike, said names of those who failed to present their vehicles during the exercise should be compiled and sent to him.
“His Excellency, our dear Governor, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru has directed that all government officials who have been allocated one or more vehicles, be it official or utility vehicle or both, should physically present the vehicle/s to the office of the SSG. Below is the schedule:
