Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has charged the five newly sworn-in Commissioners to give their best efforts in discharging their duties in the service of the State.
Fubara gave the charge on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 shortly after swearing-in the Commissioners inside the Executive Council Chambers of Government House, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Amairigha Hart, Tonye Bellgam, Professor Temple Nwofor, Dr Peters Nwagor and Lekue Kenneth were inaugurated to serve in the State Executive Council a day after they were screened and confirmed by the State House of Assembly.
Giving his charge, Governor Fubara referenced the rigorous screening by the State lawmakers as fitting to prepare them for service to the State, asserting that he expects nothing but the best from them.
“My comments should be to charge you on what you’re supposed to do, how you’re supposed to operate. But I think that aspect has already been taken care of by the House of Assembly.”
“I believe that going through one of the most rigorous screenings, it is enough to say that for those of you who succeeded, you are fit and ready to deliver to our dear State.”
“So, I will wish you the best. I don’t expect anything less than the best from you. Thank you and may God bless all of you.”
Reacting to his inauguration, one of the new Commissioners, Amairigha Hart expressed gratitude to God Almighty for the opportunity, appreciating the Governor Fubara and other crucial stakeholders for his nomination and subsequent appointment.
He equally thanked the Speaker, Martins Amaewhule, and members of the State Assembly for confirming him thus paving the way for him to be sworn in to serve his State in this new capacity.
Pledging to give his best in the discharge of his duties in whatever portfolio he is assigned, Hart stated that he would ensure he brings his knowledge, expertise and passion into play in supporting the Governor deliver good governance to the people of Rivers State.
