Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has sworn in four commissioners, charging them to see their appointments as an opportunity for patriotism and offer selfless service to the state.
The commissioners, Prof Zacheous Adango (Justice), Dr Alabo George Kelly (Works), Prof. Chinedu Mmom (Education) and Barr Isaac Kamalu (Finance) were sworn in at the Executive Council Chambers of Government House, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.
They served under the immediate past administration of ex-Gov Nyesom Wike.
Also sworn in were the new Head of Rivers State Civil Service, Dr George Nweke, whose appointment the governor described as strictly on merit, and a member of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission RSIEC, Ibierembo Thompson.
Fubara said the task before the new administration is enormous and no stone would be left unturned to ensure that the administration kick starts on a strong foundation.
