The Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, has lifted the suspension of 81 government officials who were suspended last month for failing to attend an important government function.
The officials, including the Attorney General, 25 commissioners, 22 permanent secretaries, 14 senior special assistants, and 24 special assistants, were asked to proceed on a one-month working suspension without salary payment.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Monday Uzor, said Governor Nwifuru has directed the affected officials to resume official duties immediately.
The suspension was lifted after a month, allowing the officials to return to work and resume their duties.
