Just In: Fubara Swears In Five Commissioners, Demands Excellent Service
Governor Siminalayi Fubara has today, Wednesday swore in five new commissioners, charging them to demonstrate commitment and excellence in advancing the development agenda of Rivers State.
The newly inaugurated members of the State Executive Council are Tonye Bellgam, Prof. Temple Nwofor, Dr. Peters Nwagor, Lekue Kenneth, and Sir Amairigha Edward Hart.
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Executive Council Chambers of Government House in Port Harcourt following their successful screening and confirmation by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Congratulating the commissioners on their appointments, the governor noted that their clearance by the State Assembly after what he described as a rigorous screening process demonstrated their competence and readiness for public service.
Fubara said the thorough scrutiny by lawmakers had already provided the new commissioners with the necessary orientation for their roles, expressing confidence that they were well prepared to discharge their responsibilities.
“Ordinarily, I should charge you on your responsibilities and how to operate, but that has been taken care of by the screening at the Assembly,” the governor said.
He added that the rigorous exercise had shown that those who emerged successful were capable of contributing meaningfully to the administration’s development drive.
The governor therefore urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them and work diligently to accelerate progress across the state, stressing that his administration expects nothing short of excellent service as part of efforts to place Rivers State on a faster path of growth and development.
