The Rivers House of Assembly will re-screen and reconfirm nine former commissioners who resigned from the state executive council on Wednesday.
The parliament announced this in a statement signed by the house clerk, Emeka Amadi, on Monday.
The statement said the commissioners include attorney general and commissioner for justice, Zacchaeus Adangor, commissioner for works, Des George-Kelly, commissioner for special duties, Emeka Woke, commissioner for social welfare and rehabilitation, Inime Aguma, commissioner for finance, Isaac Kamalu, commissioner for education, Chinedu Mmom, commissioner for housing, Gift Worlu, commissioner for transport, Jacobson Nbina and commissioner for environment, Austin Ben-Chioma resigned.
The statement directed ex-commissioners to produce 40 sets of their curriculum vitae, photocopies, and original copies of their credentials to the parliament’s legislative quarters (venue for the screening).
On December 16, 2023, a gale of resignations hit the State’s Executive Council following the political crisis between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
The reinstatement of the former commissioners who resigned their appointments formed part of the demands of President Bola Tinubu’s peace agreement with Mr Fubara.
