Umahi announced the suspensions in Abakaliki on Thursay after the duo failed to attend the swearing-in of the new auditor-general of the state and members of the state judicial service commission.
They also failed to witness the swearing-in ceremony of newly-appointed caretaker chairmen of some local government areas and development centre coordinators in the state.
Umahi recalled that the officers have been absent on such occasions thrice in the past and that it caused serious embarrassment to the state government.
“This suspension will end the ceaseless embarrassment brought to the state by such absenteeism as the executive council members should convey the message to them”, he said.
Umahi appointed his Senior Special Assistant on Legal Matters, Mr Uwabunkonye Anwusi to act as the attorney general and supervise the affairs of the ministry.
Nwankwagu was the Speaker of the state House of Assembly from 2007 to 2011.
