The state decree issued by Governor Major General Patrick Raphael Zamoi, read on government owned radio Yambio Fm on Wednesday relieved Jackcilia Ebere from her position.

Jackcilia Ebere did not appear in her office since her appointment in early March 2016 in the new state government. It was not clear why she boycotted to take up her position.

Major General Zamoi issued another decree appointing Anthony Moudie as the new Physical Infrastructure minister, replacing Ebere.

Moudie previously served as Director General in the Ministry of Gender and Child welfare and was transferred to the Ministry of Information and Communications and to the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
