Gov. Fubara swears in five new commissioners

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has sworn in five new commissioners and two special advisers at the Government House in Port Harcourt.

During the ceremony on Wednesday, Governor Fubara advised the newly appointed officials to avoid engaging with provocations from political opponents, either through words or actions.

The governor emphasized that such provocations are intended to distract the administration from its primary goals.

He stressed the importance of maintaining focus and dedication to achieving the administration’s objectives, reminding the officials that their appointments are meant to strengthen the cabinet’s ability to deliver on promises made to the people of Rivers State.

Governor Fubara expressed his appreciation for the dedication of the appointees, particularly their commitment to standing for truth and justice in their respective localities.

The newly appointed commissioners were screened and confirmed by the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Victor Oko-Jumbo on Tuesday.

One of the newly sworn-in commissioners, Samuel Anya, from Abia State was the Governor’s adviser on non-indigenes in Rivers State.

Governor Fubara specifically tasked Anya with the responsibility of promoting unity among residents from various parts of the country.

Other Commissioners are Ilamu Arugu, Rowland Obed-Whyte, Samuel Eyiba and Austin Emeka Nnadozie.

The Special Advisers are Achor Nna, a former Councillor in Nyesom Wike’s ward who resigned as the Leader of Obio/Akpor Legislative Assembly in March and Forgiven Amachree, a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress.
