The Akwa Ibom State Government has dropped the Commissioner, Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Rt. Hon. Victor Antai from the state Executive Council with immediate effect.

This was contained in a release signed by the Secretary to the State Government; Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem and made available to the media in Uyo.

According to the release Rt. Hon Antai had to be removed from the State Executive Council following his reluctance to comply with good governance processes of government.

With the development Rt. Hon. Victor Antai has been mandated to handover to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry before close of work tomorrow Wednesday 8th August; 2018.

This may not be unconnected with the ex- commissioner’s presence at the airport to receive former Senate Minority Leader Godswill Akpabio.
