By Chinenye Chinwe

The Governor of Enugu State, Mr. Sullivan Chime has charged his new
Chief of Staff, Mr. Victor Nnanna Atuonwu to bring his wealth of
experience to bear in the service of the state.

The Governor gave the charge when he swore-in the new Chief of Staff
at a very colourful but brief ceremony inside the Executive Council
Chambers of the Government House, Enugu.

Governor Chime described Mr. Atuonwu as a very close associate whom he
had known for a long time and wished him the best and successful
tenure in the discharge of his official assignment. According to the
Governor “I welcome Mr. Atuonwu on board, he will fit-in and he will
serve the state well.”

The State Chief Executive also used the occasion to pay a glowing
tribute to the former Chief of Staff, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo for her good
works and dedicated service to his administration and Enugu State.

In his words, “It has not been easy to replace the Chief of Staff that
served very well.  In the history of the state, we do not have any
Chief of Staff that served all that long, it is a feat for one to
serve seven years and willingly.”

Responding, the new Chief of Staff, Mr. Atuonwu thanked the Governor
for the appointment and confidence reposed on him and said God being
my helper, I will justify the confidence.

The swearing-in ceremony was attended by the Atuonwu family, friends
and well wishers.

Until his appointment, Mr. Atuonwu was the Special Assistant to the
Governor on Treasury and Investment.
