Fubara swear in five commissioners, 2 special advisers

Siminalayi Fubara, the governor of Rivers State, has swore in two special advisers and five new commissioners to the state executive council. 

Mr. Forgive Amachree and Mr. Achor Nna were sworn in as special advisers, while Mr. Ilamu Abua, Dr. Roland Obed-Whyte, Mr. Austin Nadozie, Mr. Samuel Eyiba, and Dr. Samuel Anya are the newly sworn in commissioners. 

During his speech, Fubara pushed the new officers to contribute to accomplishing his administration's goals. He reaffirmed the administration's commitment to carrying out initiatives that will directly benefit the people of Rivers.

“You are joining us to work towards meeting the expectations of Rivers people, irrespective of the distractions,” he said.

The governor asked them to view their appointments as a way to help the state, not as a way to further their own financial interests. 

He also asked the recently appointed members of the state executive council to enhance the organisation by bringing ideas that advance good governance.

“Governance is about the provision of quality and people-oriented services. It is about improving people’s quality of life.

“This administration remains focused and deeply determined to deliver on its responsibility.

“As a government, we are poised to justify the support we are receiving from our people,” he said.
