The governor also named several special advisers, including Dr. Godwin Nnadozie (Medicals and Pharmaceuticals), Ms. Chinwe Okoli (Innovation and Business Incubation), Ebuka Nwankwo (Special Projects), and Mr. Ken Emeakayi (Community Security).
The appointments come amid ongoing efforts by the Soludo administration to deepen reforms and strengthen institutional capacity across the state.
Soludo, who secured a second term following the governorship election, has repeatedly emphasised his commitment to continuity in governance and delivery of his development agenda.
At his inauguration, he reaffirmed his focus on economic transformation, security, and infrastructure development.
In his most recent media chat, the governor highlighted progress in key sectors, particularly security and investment drive, while reiterating his administration’s resolve to sustain reforms.
