Three more commissioners have tendered their letters of resignation from Rivers State Executive Council.
According to The PUNCH, the commissioners are Commissioner for Transportation Dr. Jacobson Nbina; Commissioner for Housing, Dr. Gift Worlu; and Commissioner for Environment, Austen Ben-Chioma.
Separate letters addressed to the governor through the Secretary to the State Government contained the resignations of Nbina and Ben-Chioma, both of whom served as commissioners in the previous administration under Nyesom Wike.
Their decisions to resign follow the political turmoil in the state after the bombing of the State House of Assembly on October 29, 2023.
With the latest development, nine commissioners have resigned from their positions from Fubara’s cabinet.
