The Rivers State House of Assembly, chaired by Rt Hon Martin Amaewhule, has invited the nine commissioners who resigned last month to be screened.
This was said by Emeka Amadi, Clerk of the Rivers State House of Assembly, in a statement issued on Monday.
Remember that the reappointment of the commissioners who resigned was part of the 8-point peace plan inked by Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.
The statement reads as follows:
“Public Announcement The Rivers State House of Assembly hereby invites the following Commissioner -nominees for screening and confirmation as Members of the Rivers State Executive Council.
1. Zacchaeus Adangor SAN DSSRS
2. Dr. Jacobson Mbina DSSRS
3. Dr. Gift Worlu

5. Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke FNSE DSSRS
6. Prof. Prince Chinedu Mmom DSSRS
7. Dr. George-Kelly D. Alabo FNIQS DSSRS
8. Hon. Isaac Kamalu DSSRS
9. Engr. Austin Ben Chioma
Date: Wednesday 17th January, 2024
Time: 10 am
Venue: Hallowed Chamber, Rivers State House of Assembly, Legislative Quarters, Off PH/Aba Expressway, Port Harcourt.
“Nominees are to come along with 40 sets of Curriculum Vitae (CV), photocopies of their credentials and their originals.”
The move came months after the nominees resigned their positions as commissioners in the Fubara cabinet owing to the political impasse between Wike, the immediate past governor of the state, and Fubara.
President Bola Tinubu had waded into the crisis and brokered peace between the duo, leading to the signing of an eight-point resolution. Their re-nomination is part of the peace deal.
