The Rivers State House of Assembly is set to screen a fresh batch of commissioner nominees submitted by the state executive for consideration.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the Clerk of the House, Dr Emeka Amadi, directed the nominees to submit their curriculum vitae and photocopies of their credentials to the Assembly as part of the screening process.

The statement also instructed that all required documents be forwarded to the Office of the Clerk at the Rivers State House of Assembly Quarters.

Those nominated include Prof. Datonye Alasia, Mr Tonye Bellgam, Prof. Temple Nwofor, Dr Peters Nwagor, Mrs Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, Mr Lekue Kenneth, Otonye TKD Amachree and Amairigha Edward Hart.

According to the statement, the nominees are required to submit forty sets of their curriculum vitae, photocopies of credentials and evidence of compliance with tax obligations.

“The Rivers State House of Assembly hereby invites nominees for appointment as commissioners and members of the Rivers State Executive Council to submit forty (40) sets of their curriculum vitae, photocopies of credentials and evidence of compliance with tax obligations,” the statement said.

The date for the screening exercise was, however, not disclosed in the announcement by the House Clerk.

The development follows the recent swearing-in of the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Dagogo Wokoma, and Chief of Staff, Government House, Mr Sunny Ewule, by Governor Siminalayi Fubara. (Arise News)
