No fewer than nine former Commissioners who resigned from the Rivers state executive council will be re-screened and re-confirmed on Wednesday by the State House of Assembly.
Disclosing this in a statement issued on Monday in Port Harcourt, the Clerk of the house, Mr Emeka Amadi, said the commissioners include Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN); Commissioner for Works, Dr Des George-Kelly; Commissioner for Special Duties, Emeka Woke; Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Mrs Inime Aguma; Commissioner for Finance, Isaac Kamalu.
Others are, the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Chinedu Mmom; Commissioner for Housing, Dr Gift Worlu; Commissioner for Transport, Dr Jacobson Nbina; and Commissioner for Environment, Austin Ben-Chioma.
Recall that the former commissioners tendered their resignations following the political crisis between the Governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara, and his predecessor, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The reinstatement of the former commissioners is part of the demands of President Tinubu’s peace agreement with Fubara.
