Ebonyi Gov Sacks Commissioner For Works
No reason was given for the removal, and Mbam was ordered to hand over government property and duties to senior officials.
- On Saturday, Governor Francis Nwifuru removed Ebonyi State Commissioner for Works Stanley Lebechi Mbam from office via a Public Service Announcement signed by Chief Press Secretary Monday Uzor in Abakaliki.
- This marks the third disciplinary action Mbam has faced under Nwifuru, following suspensions in July 2025 alongside about 85 officials and again in February 2026 over alleged dereliction of duty.
- Nwifuru directed Mbam to immediately transfer all administrative responsibilities to the Ministry of Works Permanent Secretary and surrender all government property, including his official vehicle, to the Secretary to the State Government.
- Although the administration reaffirmed its commitment to "delivering effective governance and improving public infrastructure," the Ebonyi State Government provided no specific reason for the termination and has not announced a replacement.
- After returning to office in May 2026 following an apology for "unmet expectations," this executive action marks Mbam's final exit from the cabinet following a history of regulatory friction.
