In a directive issued on Wednesday, Agok relieved Mathiang, but no reasons were given for the minister’s removal.

On his part, the former education minister welcomed the governor’s decision, saying no position was permanent.

He vowed to continue working with the governor if given another opportunity.

Governors, according to the state transitional constitution, have powers to appoint and at the same time relieve state ministers.

Agok was appointed a governor by South Sudan President Salva Kiir in May 2019.
