The newly sworn-in advisers are Barr. Eloka Tasie-Amadi, Prof. Peter Medee, Barr. Emmanuel Frank Fubara, Victor Ekaro, and Dr. Darlington Oji all of whom have previously served the state in various public capacities.
Speaking at the event, Fubara described their appointments as a call to duty rather than an honourary position, urging them to see their roles as critical to delivering tangible results for Rivers people. He said his administration has a social agreement with the people to work and improve governance outcomes across the state.
“Governance is not a ceremony, it is service. Our social agreement with Rivers people is to work, and that is exactly what we are committed to doing,” the governor said.
Fubara emphasised the need for teamwork, loyalty to the administration’s development agenda, and professionalism in carrying out official responsibilities. He noted that the experience of the appointees would be instrumental in helping the government recover lost ground and move decisively in implementing its policies.
The swearing-in forms part of efforts by the governor to strengthen his administration following a minor cabinet reshuffle, aimed at improving coordination and efficiency in government operations.
The governor expressed confidence that the advisers would justify the trust reposed in them and contribute meaningfully to the delivery of good governance in Rivers State.
