Gov Fubara
Rivers governor Siminalayi Fubara has forwarded a list of nine commissioner nominations to the state assembly for screening and acceptance.
Emeka Amadi, clerk of the Rivers Assembly, issued a statement on Tuesday requesting that the nine commissioner nominees submit their credentials to his office for assessment.
The nominees are Datonye Alasia, Tonye Bellgam, Temple Nwofor, Peters Nwagor, Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, Lekue Kenneth, Otonye Amachree, and Amairigha Edward Hart.
“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 (CV), photocopies of credentials and evidence of compliance with tax obligations,” the statement reads.
“All documents should be forwarded to the office of the Clerk of the House at the Rivers State House of Assembly Quarters.”
The development comes barely a month after President Bola Tinubu met with Fubara and Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), over the political crisis in the state.
Tinubu had settled the political rift between Fubara and Wike during the meeting at the State House in Abuja, the country’s capital. (Daily Sun)
