He made the commendation during a valedictory session he held with his cabinet to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary in Government House, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.

The statement reads, “Rivers State Governor, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has thanked members of his cabinet for their services and contributions to the development of the State in the last two years.

“The governor highlighted the significance of Nigeria’s Independence, and called on all Nigerians to work together with Mr President to build a peaceful, secure and prosperous country and a brighter future for all.”

Fubara 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.

“Furthermore, the Governor has relieved all Commissioners and other public officers affected by the recent Supreme Court judgement of their appointments with immediate effect, ” the statement added.

Recall that the immediate past Administrator of the State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rted) had, on assumption of office, suspended all commissioners, Special Advisers and Special Assistants to Fubara, who was suspended by President Bola Tinubu following the declaration of a state of emergency in the state.

Ibas also dissolved all boards and suspended heads of parastatals he met on the ground in the state.

Until Ibas exited the State on September 18, the fate of Fubara’s Commissioners and other appointees had been hanging in the balance.
