Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has officially relieved his cabinet of their duties, bringing an end to the tenure of Commissioners and senior officials affected by the recent Supreme Court decision.
Speaking at a valedictory session in Government House, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday, Fubara expressed gratitude to the outgoing cabinet members for their service and contributions to the state’s progress over the past two years.
The development follows the nullification of their appointments by the Supreme Court, which effectively terminated their tenure.
Fubara, who himself returned to office after the lifting of a State of Emergency declared by President Bola Tinubu, used the occasion to stress the need for unity and collective responsibility in nation-building.
He urged Rivers people and Nigerians at large to support President Tinubu’s efforts at fostering peace, security, and prosperity across the country.
Reaffirming his dedication to the state, the governor pledged to serve with “renewed vigor and commitment,” while also extending warm wishes to Nigerians as the country marked its 65th Independence Anniversary.
