The Rivers State House of Assembly has screened and confirmed four commissioners nominees sent to it by Governor Siminilayi Fubara.

Fubara had written to the 32-member legislature requesting the lawmakers to screen them as members of his cabinet.

All four commissioners served in the administration of the immediate-past governor, Nyesom Wike.

The Speaker of the House,� Ikuinyi Awaji-Ibani, who read the letter from� Fubara during Tuesday�s plenary, said the commissioners� designates performed creditably well during the immediate past administration.

Awaji-Ibani later directed the Clerk of the House to communicate the decision of the House to the governor after the lawmakers present at plenary gave the nominees a clean bill of health.

He stated, “It is my pleasure to forward the under-listed nominees to the Rivers State House of Assembly. Those for 15, against nill, absentia, nill.

�The results showed that Prof Zacceus Adangor (SAN), Dr George Kelly, Isaac Kamalu and Prof Chinedu Mmom screened for appointment as commissioners as members of the Rivers State Executive Council.

�They are hereby confirmed by the House.�

In Wike�s administration, Adangor served as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice; Kelly served as Commissioner for Works; Kamalu was Commissioner for Finance; while Mmom served as Commissioner for Education.

Speaking to newsmen, one of the commissioner-designates, Mmom said his second coming would see a lot of improvement in the ministry he would be assigned to.

�Well, one of the things I have targeted is that I am going to do what is called digitisation of data and information in the ministry,� he stated.
