On his first day, Governor Soludo vowed to release his list of commissioners within a week.

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in his inaugural address at the Government House, Agu-Awka, Awka, the state capital, said he has no time to waste but would start work immediately.

According to the Governor, “Today is my first day at work. I just reported for duty and will work for at least eight hours. We had more than a month since the election to celebrate our historic victory.”
