Enugu commissioner quits over civil servants’ sack

The Enugu State Commissioner of Land and Urban Development, Victor Nnam has resigned barely two years after his appointment.

In the resignation letter addressed to the State governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, on Friday, Nnam explained that his decision was prompted by the harsh sack of the professional senior servants in his ministry.

“However, the reason for my resignation is the recent removal of the professional heads of departments under me on the punitive ground for simply doing their jobs diligently. My conscience can no longer allow me to serve your administration while those innocent professional senior civil servants are punished for doing the right thing,” he wrote.

He also claimed that the governor rejected his proposal for a Geometric Information System (GIS) land administration, saying this initiative could have helped stamp out land grabbers and created investors’ confidence in Enugu State.

Nnam added, “I hereby resign my appointment as the commissioner for Lands and Urban Development Enugu state with effect from today, Friday 29th October 2021, and submit the black Prado SUV with plate number: 1ENSG 5712 to your office.”
