Edo State governor, Monday Okpebholo, has ordered the suspension of Felix Osemwengie Isere, his Special Adviser on Oil and Gas.
A statement signed on Tuesday by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Ikhilor, informed that the suspension follows alleged unauthorised fundraising over a planned Oil and Gas summit scheduled for August 7 in Benin City.
“Due to the breach, the proposed summit is suspended, and Isere is directed to refund all monies collected from donors for the event. Prospective donors are hereby advised to stop all dealings with the suspended adviser”, the statement added.
