Why Nkiru Sylvianus was sacked

Nollywood actress, Nkiru Sylvanus as well as other commissioners, special advisers, senior special assistants and special assistants in the Governor Rochas Okorocha’s  cabinet have been sacked. In what seems like a whirlwind shake-up, the mass sack was unexpected. The reason given by the governor’s representative is that it is to give room for more capable hands.

The statement from the State Government reads, “The dissolution was necessary to give room for more capable hands into the system in order to fully actualize the rescue mission agenda of the State Government.” Due to her long standing experience as a public servant, there are talks that the actress might soon be given another position. She is yet to make a statement on her sack.
