The directives were contained in an official statement issued on Friday by the State Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu.

The reassignments became necessary following the resignations of Ms. Orode Uduaghan, who served as Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs, Community Support Services and Girl Child Development, and Barr. ThankGod Harry Trakiriowei, who held the portfolio for Youth Development.

Both former commissioners stepped down from their executive positions to pursue elective offices, specifically seats in the Delta State House of Assembly, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
