Fubara sacks cabinet members, others

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has formally disengaged members of his cabinet, appreciating them for their service and contributions to the development of the state over the past two years.

The affected officials include Commissioners and other public officers whose appointments were recently nullified by the Supreme Court, and whose tenure effectively ended following the ruling.

The Governor, who was suspended during the period of the State of Emergency imposed on the state by President Bola Tinubu, praised his former cabinet members during a valedictory session held at Government House, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday, as part of activities marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.

Fubara emphasized the importance of national unity and called on Nigerians to support President Tinubu in building a peaceful, secure, and prosperous nation.

He reiterated his commitment to serve the people of Rivers state with renewed vigor, thanked citizens for their steadfast support, and wished Nigerians a happy Independence Anniversary.
