Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has disengaged commissioners and other public officers affected by the recent Supreme Court judgement of their appointments.
Fubara spoke in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Wednesday, during a valedictory session with his cabinet members, as part of activities to mark Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary.
The governor said independence remains a significant milestone in the country’s history and urged Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu in building a peaceful and prosperous nation.
“The Governor also reiterated his commitment to serve the State with renewed vigour, while thanking all citizens for their support, and wished all Nigerians a happy Independence anniversary,” Nelson Chukwudi, Fubara’s spokesperson, quoted the governor as saying in a statement.
“Furthermore, the Governor has relieved all Commissioners and other public officers affected by the recent Supreme Court judgement of their appointments with immediate effect.”
Fubara thanked members of his cabinet for their services and contributions to the development of the state in the last two years.
