The Rivers house of assembly has invited nine commissioner nominees for screening and confirmation as members of the state executive council.
The nine commissioner nominees are those who resigned from the cabinet of Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state, last year.
Recall that in December 2023, Governor Fubara’s cabinet experienced a gale of resignations with at least nine commissioners resigning their positions on the back of the political crisis in the state.
The resignation of the commissioners was against the backdrop of the feud between Fubara and Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).
In a statement on Monday, Emeka Amadi, clerk of the Rivers house of assembly, said the commissioner nominees are expected to appear before the lawmakers on Wednesday.
The venue of the screening is the state house of assembly, legislative quarters.
The nominees are Zacchaeus Adangor, Jacobson Mbina, Gift Worlu, Inime Chinwenwo-Aguma, Chukwuemeka Woke, Chinedu Mmom, George-Kelly Alabo, Isaac Kamalu, and Austin Ben Chioma.
