The appointment is contained in a statement issued by the secretary to the state government, Enobong Uwah, in Uyo, and made available to journalists on Monday.
In another development, the governor relieved two of his aides of their positions, with immediate effect.
The affected aides included the senior special assistant to the governor on support services, Joseph Ikpak, and the special assistant to the governor on Neighbourhood Watch, Felix Ekuri.
