Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has sworn in five new commissioners, nearly a month after dissolving the previous State Executive Council.
Following the dissolution of the Rivers State Executive Council on February 12, 2026—which resulted in the sacking of all commissioners and special advisers—Governor Siminalayi Fubara has now sworn in five newly confirmed commissioners.
The swearing-in occurred after the State House of Assembly screened and confirmed the nominees on Monday. This routine governance step formally integrates the officials into the executive branch, allowing them to assume their roles.
The process adhered to legislative procedures, with assembly approval enabling the governor's action. Governor Fubara's administration continues to reconstitute key positions amid ongoing state affairs in Rivers State, Nigeria. Details on the commissioners' identities or portfolios were not specified in available reports.
