Fubara highlighted that the appointments are intended to strengthen the cabinet’s ability to fulfill its promises to the people of Rivers State. He stressed that the citizens’ main concern is achieving tangible results, rather than the number of court rulings or street protests.
The governor also expressed his appreciation for the appointees’ dedication, particularly their commitment to upholding truth and justice in their communities.
The newly appointed commissioners, confirmed by the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Victor Oko-Jumbo on Tuesday, include Samuel Anya from Abia State, who previously served as the Governor’s adviser on non-indigenes in Rivers State and is tasked with promoting unity among residents from various regions.
Other new commissioners are Ilamu Arugu, Rowland Obed-Whyte, Samuel Eyiba, and Austin Emeka Nnadozie.
The special advisers are Achor Nna, a former councillor who resigned as the Leader of the Obio/Akpor Legislative Assembly in March, and Forgiven Amachree, a former member of the All Progressives Congress.
