…urges new commissioners to up the ante
The Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has assured that with the calibre of technocrats appointed in his administration, more development strides will be achieved for the state.
Speaking while swearing in nine new commissioners at Council Chambers of Government House, Port Harcourt on Friday, Governor Fubara said, engaging persons who served in the previous government aligns with the vision of continuity and consolidation of his administration.
He urged them to see themselves as part of a formidable team put together to constitute a full system determined to provide better governance to the people, adding that there are huge expectations from his administration and vowed not to disappoint.
The governor noted that the new commissioners were already familiar with the tenets of governance and as such should “consider their appointments as an opportunity to deploy their wealth of experience in the service of the state.”
Sir Fubara further said, the commissioners should be proactive in contending with issues of bureaucratic bottle neck which is the bane of public service. He enjoined them to work hard to improve the quality of service delivery to the people.
He emphasized the need for “effective communication, commitment and defense of the state in any particular matter.”
The new commissioners include: Engr Emeka Nwoke (former Chief of Staff, Government House), Barr Inime Aguma, Nwafor Uchechukwu, Kenneth Chisom Gbali, Henry Ogiri, Dr Jacobson Nbina, Engr Charles Amadi, Dr Roseline Adawari Uranta, and Barr Christopher Green.
