January 26, (THEWILL) – Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has sworn in nine re-nominated commissioners in the State.
The swearing-in ceremony was conducted at the State Executive Council Chambers of the Government House in Port Harcourt, on Friday.
The Commissioners had resigned their appointment in December amid the political crisis between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
THEWILL reports that the reinstatement of the former commissioners is part of resolutions reached in Abuja at a peace meeting brokered by President Bola Tinubu.
The commissioners, including Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN); Commissioner for Works, Dr. Des George-Kelly; Commissioner for Special Duties, Emeka Woke; Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Mrs. Inime Aguma; Commissioner for Finance, Isaac Kamalu; Commissioner for Education, Prof. Chinedu Mmom; Commissioner for Housing, Dr. Gift Worlu; Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Jacobson Nbina; and Commissioner for Environment, Austin Ben-Chioma, took the oaths at once, beginning from the oath of allegiance before the oath of office.
