Briefing journalists on the outcome of the Executive Council meeting, Mr. Okpor noted that the Governor warned against absenteeism and lackadaisical attitude to work by public servants in the state.
Okpor further said that Gov Nwifuru also directed that the suspended commissioners be relieved of all the privileges attached to their offices within the duration of the suspension.
