Dr. Mefor replaces Sir Paul Nwosu, who has moved on after over ten years of meritorious service to the Anambra State Government.

He has also made significant contributions as a syndicated columnist, publishing thought-provoking articles in The Cable and various online and mainstream newspapers.
Dr. Mefor’s public service career spans over a decade in the Nigerian Senate, where he served as Senior Legislative Aide and Special Assistant to Senators, the Deputy Senate President, and the Senate President. His deep involvement in legislative processes and policy research adds a valuable dimension to his appointment.
A prolific author, Dr. Mefor has written several influential works, including “The Audacity of Power,” a political analysis; “The Senator Ken Nnamani Portrait,” a biographical work; and creative pieces such as the novels Dream Abuja and Corpers’ Odyssey, and the poetry collection Phantasmagoria.
