“We are elated by the appointments of the new executive director for finance is Stanley Ohajuruka, who replaced Anthony Ugbo in the first list. Hon. Toby Okechukwu, the new executive director of projects who replaced Obinna Obiekweihe. Chief Sylvester Okonkwo who is now the executive director of corporate services, replacing Dr Daniel Ikechukwu Ugwuja.

Okey Ezenwa, Chief Hyacinth Ikpor, Ifeanyi Agwu, Nasiru Usman, Hamma Adama Ali Kumo, Edward David Onoja, Orure Kufre Inima and Chief (Mrs.) Joke Adebayo-Chukwuma.
