Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has officially dissolved the State Executive Council.
This decisive move comes as the Governor seeks to reposition his administration and streamline the state’s civil service for more effective service delivery.
In a fresh set of appointments, Governor Fubara has approved the elevation of five senior officials to the rank of Permanent Secretaries within the Rivers State Civil Service.
According to a government statement, the newly appointed Permanent Secretaries include:
Dr. Wachukwu, Vincent Worgu
Eke, Cordelia Uwuma
Ogboma, Ifeanyi Anthony
Dr. Jim-Jaja, Mina Gogo
Uzor, Henry
The governor is expected to perform the official swearing-in ceremony for the new appointees on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
This exercise is seen by many as a strategy to strengthen the backbone of the state’s bureaucracy while a new cabinet is being considered.
