The Coordinator of Family Empowerment and Youth Reorientation-Path Initiative, FEYReP, Mrs. Ime Inyang-eyen, who is also the wife of the sacked Chief of Staff to Akwa Ibom State Governor, has been relieved of her position.
According to government house sources, Mrs. Inyang-eyen was fired from her position as Chief of Staff by Akwa Ibom State first lady, Dr Martha Udom Emmanuel, on the same day her husband was fired.
It may be recalled that the state governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, fired Mr. Ephraim Inyang-eyen, former Commissioner of Works, as his Chief of Staff on Tuesday, February 22, 2022.
The letter was signed by state Emmanuel Ekuwuem, secretary to the state government (SSG), and was dated 22nd February 2022.
Mrs. Inyang-eyen has been the Coordinator of the First Lady’s pet project, FEYReP, since its inception in September 2015, just a few months after this administration took office.
Dr. (Mrs.) Idorenyin Ekanem, wife of Onna local government Chairman Elder Iniabasi Ekanem, has been appointed acting Coordinator of FEYReP, according to a government house source.
Dr. Idorenyin Ekanem, the new coordinator, has been an active member of FEYReP since its inception and will serve in an acting capacity until a substantive coordinator is appointed.
“You know, since her husband was fired, she has to go as well.” That’s how it goes. She had no issues with the First Lady or FEYReP.
“Unfortunately, it is the husband, Mr. Ephraim Inyang-eyen, who has a problem with His Excellency the governor, and he has just been fired, so I believe that is why she was relieved of her appointment as well, but it is normal, expected,” a government house source simply stated.
