The affected officials are Engr. Stanley Lebechi Mbam, Commissioner for Works, and Engr. Ogbonnaya Obasi Abara, Commissioner for Infrastructure Development for Concession.
In a public service announcement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Dr. Monday Uzor, the state government confirmed that the suspension takes immediate effect.

As of the time of reporting, the Ebonyi State Government has not announced interim replacements for the suspended commissioners.
The move is seen as part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to reinforce accountability, efficiency, and improved service delivery within the state’s public service.
