Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has suspended the Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Physical Planning, Hon. Noble Atulegwu, and the Special Adviser/General Manager of Imo Housing Corporation, Hon Mbakwe Obi Jnr, with immediate effect.
The announcement was made by the Secretary to the Imo State government, Chief Cosmas Iwu, in a statement on Thursday. The government directed the two officials to hand over to the most senior officers in their respective offices.
The statement did not give any reason for the governor’s action. However, it can be recalled that Atulegwu has been battling with some communities over the acquisition of lands in the state.
