The development was also confirmed by another source within the Government House, who emphasized that Aniagwu’s experience as a two-term commissioner for information under former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa made him a suitable candidate for the dual role.

On whether the current commissioner, Osuoza has been sacked, the source disclosed that the governor intends redeploy him to a different position in due course.
