Rivers State House of Assembly Resumes Sitting, Seeks Commissioner Nominees from Governor Fubara

Port Harcourt, Nigeria – September 18, 2025

In a significant political development, the Rivers State House of Assembly has officially resumed sitting and has resolved to formally request a list of commissioner nominees from Governor Siminalayi Fubara for screening and confirmation.

The move signals a step toward reconstituting the State Executive Council, following months of political tension and administrative uncertainty in the state.

During the plenary session held earlier today at the Assembly Complex in Port Harcourt, lawmakers unanimously agreed to communicate with the governor, urging him to submit names of individuals nominated for commissioner positions. This resolution marks a renewed effort to stabilize governance and ensure the continued delivery of public services across the state.

While no official timeline has been given for the receipt of the nominee list, sources within the Assembly suggest that the process could move swiftly in the coming days, given the urgency to fill key roles in the state’s executive arm.

Political observers view this development as a potential turning point in the strained relationship between the legislative and executive arms of government in Rivers State.

Further updates will follow as the situation unfolds.
