Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has lifted the suspension imposed on over 80 government officials.
Gatekeepers News reports that the announcement, made by Monday Uzor, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, stated that the commissioners, senior special assistants, special assistants, and permanent secretaries who were earlier suspended are required to resume their official duties immediately.
The officials were suspended last month over their failure to attend a crucial government function.
Among those affected were key figures such as the Attorney General, 25 commissioners, 22 permanent secretaries, 14 senior special assistants, and 24 special assistants.
These officials faced a one-month working suspension without salary, during which they were also prohibited from signing any official documents.
Notable suspended commissioners included those overseeing Works, Finance, Information, Rural Development, Education, Agriculture, Water Resources, Commerce, Industry, Environment, Health, and Arts and Culture, among others.
