Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has sacked all commissioners and public officers serving under his administration with immediate effect.
The decision, contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Wednesday evening by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, was made following the recent Supreme Court judgment.
The statement noted that the Governor had held a valedictory session with his cabinet earlier on Wednesday to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary at Government House, Port Harcourt.

During the session, the Governor “thanked members of his cabinet for their services and contributions to the development of the State in the last two years.”
The statement read: “Furthermore, the Governor has relieved all Commissioners and other public officers affected by the recent Supreme Court judgement of their appointments with immediate effect,” the statement added.
Fubara also highlighted the significance of Nigeria’s Independence and called on all Nigerians to “work together with Mr President to build a peaceful, secure and prosperous country and a brighter future for all.”
He reiterated his commitment to serve the State “with renewed vigour,” thanked citizens for their support, and wished all a happy Independence anniversary.
The sack ends the period of uncertainty that had affected Fubara’s appointees, whose fate had been pending since the immediate past Administrator of the State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rted), suspended them upon assuming office and dissolving all boards following the declaration of a state of emergency.
