Chris Okorie, a special assistant to Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom State, has quit his appointment, citing months of inactivity.
In his resignation letter to the Governor, dated June 28, Okorie noted that 20 months after he was appointed SA to the Governor on Electoral Matters (Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District), he was yet to be assigned any duties.
“I am yet to be … provided with basic work tools, not even an office space,” Okorie stated, adding that “Worse still, there is no hope that this situation will improve in the nearest future.”
“Therefore, your Excellency, I do hereby resign my appointment as Special Assistant on Electoral Matters with effect from today, 28th June, 2017, to enable me channel my energy into other activities which I believe will ultimately be to the benefit of our beloved State,” he said.
