Abia state Gov's aide resigns, says Ikpeazu frustrates Agricultural programmes

Mr. Obinna Ndukwe Ibiam has announced his resignation as the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor of Abia State on Agricultural Empowerment Programs. Giving reasons for his resignation, in a statement made available to journalists in Umuahia, on Sunday, Ibiam berated the alleged unconcerned attitudes and deliberate refusal of the government to implement policies to enhance the empowerment and development of Abia youths. He accused the state government of frustrating key Agricultural programs being run in the administration and expressed dismay that the administration was yet to implement the programs despite the approval of the 50 million naira counterpart funds to the Bank of Agriculture for the empowerment of over 3,000 unemployed Abians. Ibiam hinted that the governor has failed to release the approved 50 million naira counterpart funds through the Accountant General of the State, Kelechi Imeoria, which he alleged that Ikpeazu used in putting Abia in a sorry unimaginable backward state hence the reason the high insecurity in the state.
