Okorocha appoints own sister as ‘commissioner for happiness’

Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state, has appointed his sister, Ogechi Ololo (nee Okorocha), commissioner for happiness
and couples’ fulfillment.

She was sworn-in alongside 27 new commissioners and 27 transition committee chairmen for the local government councils
in the state.

Ololo was the 2015 candidate for the Owerri federal constituency seat from the All Progressives Congress and was one-time
deputy chief of staff and special adviser on domestic matters.

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony at the Imo International Convention Centre, Owerri, on Monday, Okorocha urged the
appointees to see themselves as men and women on a rescue mission, adding that they are a part of the success story of his
administration.

“You are the privileged group that has the opportunity to make names for yourselves. I want to remind all of you that this
appointment is not business as usual,” he said.

“We shall not tolerate any sharp practice or corruption of any type. Neither shall we accept indolence or laziness. You have
been called to duty to help us to achieve our vision in the Rescue Mission Project.

“At this moment, I charge you all to be good ambassadors of the Rescue Mission wherever you find yourselves.

To the transition committee chairmen, you must ensure that ongoing projects
must be completed especially the schools, chapels etc.”
