Rivers Governor Submits 9 Commissioner-Nominees To Assembly For Screening
Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has submitted the names of nine commissioner-nominees to the House of Assembly for screening as members of the State Executive Council.
The nominees are Professor Datonye Alasia, Mr Tonye Bell-Gam, Professor Temple Nwofor and Dr. Peter Nwagor.
Others are Mrs. Charity Demua, Tamuno Williams, Mr Lekue Kenneth, Otonye T.K.D. Amachree and Sir Amairigha Edward Hart.
Our Correspondent reports that none of the former commissioners and members of the State Executive Council made the current list of nominees.
The clerk of the House, Dr Emeka Amadi, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday, urged the nominees to submit 40 sets of their curriculum vitae (CV), photocopies of their credentials and evidence of compliance with tax obligations to his office.
The statement, however, did not disclose the date for the screening of the nominees.
It reads in part: “The Rivers State House of Assembly hereby invites nominees for appointment as commissioners and members of the Rivers State Executive Council to submit 40 sets of their curriculum vitae (CV), photocopies of their credentials and evidence of compliance with tax obligations.
“All documents should be forwarded to the office of the Clerk of the House at the Rivers State House of Assembly quarters.” Governor Fubara had on February 12, 2026 dissolved the state executive council and on February 27, 2026, appointed Dr Dagogo Wokoma as Secretary to the State Government (SSG) and Barrister Sunny Ewule as the Chief of Staff.
