“All of you have delivered, and that’s why the Arise Agenda has succeeded,” he said. “But we must come to the end of a season, start another season, and keep moving.”

Most of the commissioners had been in office for almost 10 years, with some serving under former Governor Udom Emmanuel.

It is understood that the commissioners and advisers were retained by Governor Eno to allow them to complete their tenure as compensation for their services.
