According to The Punch, a former deputy governor of Enugu State, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi, has been redeployed to the state civil service. A source in the Government House informed our correspondent that the development followed Onyebuchi’s impeachment, and the subsequent appointment of a new deputy governor.
Onyebuchi was a staff of the Enugu State Civil Service before his appointment to political office. However, the source, who did not wish to be named, did not disclose the particular ministry, department or agency of the government to which Onyebuchi was redeployed. The former deputy governor’s current rank in the service was also not disclosed.
The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Sullivan Chime, Mr. Chukwudi Achife, confirmed Onyebuchi’s redeployment in an SMS to our correspondent. The text message reads, “Former Deputy Governor Onyebuchi has been redeployed to the State Civil Service where he was serving before being appointed to higher political offices.”
