The Edo State government has relieved Fred Itua of his appointment as the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Monday Okpebholo and replaced him with Ebojele Patrick.

Mr Ikhilor described Dr Ebojele as a renowned journalist, public administrator, and researcher with an extensive and distinguished professional record in media practice, public affairs, and academia.

He said the new appointment reflected the administration’s commitment to strengthening and deepening communication channels between the government and the people of Edo State.

He said that Mr Ebojele’s journalism career spanned reputable Nigerian media houses, where he served as Edo/Delta correspondent for Channels Television and held correspondent roles in New Nigerian Newspaper, Champion Newspaper, and Comet Newspapers.

The government expressed appreciation to Mr Itua for his contributions and service.

According to Mr Ikhilor, Mr Itua will await a new reassignment, which will be communicated in due course.
