Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has approved the appointment of Osaze Ethan Uzamere as his new Chief of Staff.
In a statement, Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie Esq., said the appointment takes immediate effect.
Uzamere is the son of Senator Ehigie Uzamere, who represented Edo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly between 2007 and 2011.
Uzamere, 38, is an investment banker and a graduate of Stony Brook University, New York, where he majored in Computer and Electrical Engineering.
He has had stints with Lehman Brothers and South Grade Engineering, among others.
A thorough-bred professional, he had, before his appointment, served as Executive Assistant to Governor Obaseki.
Meganews reported that Obaseki’s chief of Staff, Taiwo Akerele, resigned his appointment on Saturday.
His resignation was not unconnected with the lingering crisis between the Governor and the APC National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
