Rochas Ewelle Okorocha, the governor of Imo State has finally sacked Nollywood actress Nkiru Sylvanus from his cabinet. The actress was sacked by the governor on Thursday at the state executive council meeting held in the state capital.  The light-skinned ‘cry cry’ actress wasn’t the only sacked aide of the governor as all others too were removed from office, including the state commissioners.  Nkiru served as a Special Assistant to the governor. She was first given the mandate to oversee matters concerning Imo indegenes in Lagos State before her redeployment to Owerri, which is the state capital. Her appointment received criticism as some people alleged that she was appointed to give the governor a ‘special service’. The actress is not an Imo state native; she is originally from Abia state.

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has said that all the illiterate traditional rulers in their state would be given the chance to visit school to improve their ability to supply robust service with their people through the Community Government Council (CGC).

Okorocha spoke while addressing the original rulers and other stakeholders at Ahiajoku Convention Centre in Owerri, their state capital. According to the governor, a programme would be introduced next season in tertiary institutions to aid illiterate traditional rulers to obtain basic knowledge in governance.

He said: “Africa and Nigeria particularly can just only develop more if the community government council becomes stronger than the area government; local government stronger than their state government and state stronger than the Federal Government.”
