Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has dissolved his cabinet with immediate effect, issuing directives for outgoing political appointees to hand over responsibilities to senior civil service officials.

The decision was announced in a statement signed by his new Chief Press Secretary, Onwuka Nzeshi, Thursday evening.

According to the statement, the governor instructed all outgoing Commissioners and Special Advisers to formally hand over their duties to Permanent Secretaries or the most senior officers in their various ministries.

Governor Fubara thanked the departing officials for their service, acknowledging their “immense contributions” to both the state and his administration.
