Mr Eno defended the reappointment of all the commissioners who served under his predecessor.
All the new appointees except one served as commissioners and special adviser in the cabinet of Mr Eno’s predecessor, Udom Emmanuel.
Mr Eno, in his reaction, described his former colleagues as his “foot soldiers” that have to be rewarded, adding that besides being tested, they possessed vast experience to deliver his economic blueprint. “Therefore, it is only fitting that we bring back tested hands with the right experience who understands the system to join us and work for the continuation of peace, growth and transformation of our state in line with the Arise Agenda,” he said.
Checks by PREMIUM TIMES shows that about 80 per cent of the commissioners have been returned to the former ministries they left less than two months ago.
