The Rivers State House of Assembly has screened and confirmed four commissioner nominees presented to it by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The commissioner nominees are Dr Israel Ngbuelu, Evans Bipi, Otamiri Ngubo, and Benebo Anabraba.

The Speaker of the House, Victor Oko-Jumbo, announced during plenary on Monday, October 7, 2024, that Fubara forwarded a letter containing four names for screening and confirmation.

The House Leader, Sokari Good-boy, said three of the nominees were former members of the House, “who served diligently during their tenure” as lawmakers.

He, therefore, urged his colleagues to allow the trio to take a bow and go.

The House, however, screened the fourth nominee before confirming all of them.

The Speaker, thereafter, announced the commissioner nominees’ confirmation and enjoined them to bring their wealth of experience to bear in the development of Rivers State.
