Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has inaugurated eight commissioners cleared by three lawmakers led Victor Oko-Jombo.
The governor made this known last night in a tweet on his X-handle.
In the message, he reaffirmed his dedication to providing quality leadership for the people of Rivers State.
Fubara emphasised his administration’s commitment to prioritizing the needs of Rivers people in all considerations.
The commissioners are: Prince Charles O. Bekee, Onunwo Collins. Solomon Abel Eke, Peter Medee, Olisaelloka Tasie-Amadi, Basoene Joshua Benibo, Tambari Sydney Gbara and Dr. Ovy Orluideye Chinendum Chukwuma.
During the screening, two of the nominees, Sir Peter Medee and Olisaelloka Tasie-Amadi, a lawyer, were asked by the lawmakers to take a bow.
The nominees promised to bring their wealth of experience to bear on governance.
The House Leader, Sokari Good Boy Sokari, pleaded with his colleagues to confirm the nominees since most of them had served in various capacities in the state.
Oko-Jumbo commended Fubara for his achievements, urging him to remain focused and shun distractions.
Fubara yesterday explained why he would not be affected by his decision to probe his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Fubara, who served as Accountant-General in the Wike administration, said he acted as a civil servant based on approvals by the former governor.
He said critics of the proposed probe needed to know that he has records of his involvement in the state’s financial transactions as a civil servant.
Speaking during the inauguration of Egbeda internal roads, Fubara insisted that his records would show that everything he did under the last administration was based on approvals.
Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who inaugurated the roads, expressed optimism that peace would return to the state.
Also, a High Court sitting in Port-Harcourt, the state capital, stopped the elongation of tenure of local government chairmen.
