Nine former Commissioners who resigned from the state executive council on Wednesday are to appear before the Rivers State House of Assembly to re-screen and re-confirm.
The Clerk of the house, Mr Emeka Amadi who made this known in a statement on Monday in Port-Harcourt, said the affected commissioners are expected to produce 40 sets of their Curriculum Vitae (CV), photocopies as well as original copies of their credentials to the State House of Assembly, Legislative Quarters (venue for the screening).
Amadi said the commissioners to be re-screen are 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.
Others are the 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.
Recall that on Dec 16, 2023, following the political crisis between the Governor of the state, Fubara, and his predecessor, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, some commissioners resigned from the State’s Executive Council.
It was gathered that the reinstatement of the former commissioners who resigned their appointments is part of the demands of President Tinubu’s peace agreement with Gov. Fubara.
