Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly are currently reviewing the commissioner nominees submitted by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Nine nominees were brought into the House around 10 a.m. on Monday.
The nominees are Datonye Alasia, Tonye Bellgam, Temple Nwofor, Peters Nwagor, Mrs. Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, Lekue Kenneth, Otonye TKD Amachree, and Amairigha Hart.
A video of the screening, broadcast on Arise TV and monitored by PUNCH Online, showed each nominee taking the podium to introduce themselves and respond to questions from the lawmakers.
Governor Fubara presented the list of nominees to the House on March 5, 2026, after dissolving the State Executive Council.
Earlier, the Assembly, through a notice signed by Clerk Dr. Emeka Amadi on March 3, 2026, instructed the nominees to submit 40 copies of their curricula vitae, copies of their credentials, and proof of tax compliance in preparation for the screening and confirmation process.
This move comes in the wake of the restoration of democratic governance in Rivers State following President Bola Tinubu’s lifting of the six-month state of emergency on September 17, 2025.
The state of emergency, declared on March 18, 2025, had suspended Governor Fubara, his deputy, and the House of Assembly amid an extended political standoff between Fubara and his predecessor, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, over control of Rivers State’s political apparatus.
