A loyalist of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Professor Chinedu Mmon has resigned his position as Rivers State Commissioner for Education.
Mmon is the third reappointed commissioner to tender his resignation after the former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Professor Zacchaeus Adangor, and former Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Isaac Kamalu, resigned their appointments a few weeks ago.
He noted that “There is a loss of trust, animosity, and sharp division among colleagues in the same cabinet, which is unhealthy and very unfortunate.
Adangor and Kamalu resigned after Fubara directed their redeployment to the Ministry of Special Duties (Governor’s Office) and Ministry for Employment Generation and Empowerment, respectively.
In a letter dated May 25, 2024 and addressed to the governor through the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), the former Commissioner for Education stated that he was resigning because his current work environment had become toxic.
