- The Rivers State House of Assembly has invited nine commissioner nominees submitted by Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara for screening to become members of his cabinet.

The nominations follow the dissolution of the previous cabinet after a peace agreement in February in Abuja between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike.

In a letter signed by the Clerk of the House, Emeka Amadi, PhD, the Assembly requested that the nominees submit all necessary documents, including 40 copies of their curriculum vitae, photocopies of credentials, and evidence of tax compliance, to the office of the Clerk.

The nominees are: Professor Datonye Alasia, Mr. Tonye Bellgam, Professor Temple Nwofor, Dr. Peters Nwagor, Mrs. Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, Esq., Mr. Lekue Kenneth, Otonye TKD Amachree, Esq., and Sir Amairigha Edward Hart.

All documents are to be submitted to the Rivers State House of Assembly Quarters in Port Harcourt.
