The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, has suspended the chairmen of Aba South and North for the dirtiness of the commercial town.
Pictures of dirty market streets of the commercial hub of the state have been shared on the internet, with fingers pointed at the state government for doing little to elevate the image of the town.
A.C.B. Agbazuere, Chief of Staff to the Governor said in a statement on Sunday said that the Transition Committee Chairmen of Aba North and South Local Government Areas have been suspended.
“The Governor has also relieved the Commissioner of Transport, Barr. Ekele Nwaohammuo of his appointment as Honourable Commissioner.

“The Deputy Chairmen of the affected Local Government Areas are to take over and together with their Heads of Service immediately set up a task force to check environmental indiscipline and other vices” the statement read.
