Several weeks after their inauguration, the Special Advisers (SAs) to Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, are contemplating resignation due to the absence of defined job descriptions, assigned portfolios, official offices, and vehicles. Although they were inaugurated alongside the state Commissioners, these advisers feel sidelined and neglected, with no clear duties or responsibilities assigned to them.
The advisers, who emphasize their high level of education and expertise, express a strong desire to contribute to the state’s progress. However, they are currently unable to do so effectively due to insufficient support and resources from the administration. The SAs are urging the governor to swiftly clarify their roles and provide the necessary tools and resources, warning that failure to do so will result in their collective resignation.
This predicament brings to light the critical need for transparent communication and efficient governance within the state administration. Attempts to obtain a statement from the Governor’s Media Aide and Chief Press Secretary, Hon Oguwike Nwachukwu, were unsuccessful, as he could not be reached via telephone.
