The suspended Commissioner for Works in Ebonyi State, Lebechi Mbam, has tendered a public apology following his indefinite suspension by the State Governor, Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, over alleged dereliction of duty.
Recall that Governor Nwifuru at the weekend announced the
indefinite suspension of Mbam and his Infrastructure Development for Concession
counterpart, Ogbonnaya Obasi Abara, citing lapses in the discharge of their
responsibilities at the Ministry of Works.
In a statement issued on his social handle after the
suspension, Mbam acknowledged the weight of leadership and accepted
responsibility for the unmet expectations under his watch.
“Leadership and mentorship come with the ability to take
accolades and the courage to take correction and reprimand,” he stated.
The embattled commissioner reaffirmed his loyalty and
accountability to the governor, describing him as his leader and mentor.
He emphasised that performance in the Ministry of Works
remains a priority to the governor and noted that disciplinary measures,
whether public or private, are intended to strengthen governance and improve
service delivery.
“I take responsibility for the unmet expectations of the
Ministry of Works under my watch. On behalf of the Ebonyi State Ministry of
Works, I accept responsibility for the observed lapses,” he said.
Mbam further expressed regret over what he described as
perceived disappointments and assured that recent developments would serve as
motivation to reassess operations, improve weak areas and build on existing
strengths.
“Your Excellency, I apologize for every perceived
disappointment. We will do better, and a second chance will not be taken for
granted,” he added.
