(Nigeria) To further strengthen the machinery of government, Rivers
State governor, Mr Nyesom Wike on
Thursday swore-in four new commissioners.
Governor Wike also swore-in Chief Boma Dappa as the
Caretaker Committee Chairman of Degema Local Government Area of the state.
Performing the swearing-in ceremony at the Government House Port Harcourt,
Governor Wike said there would be a minor cabinet reshuffle.
He charged the new commissioners to see their appointments
as a privilege to serve the people of the state and not an
opportunity for self enrichment.
The governor urged the commissioners to establish themselves
as persons who are known for the development of the state.
He said: "These appointments are not opportunities for
appointees to enrich themselves. If you attempt to enrich yourselves, there
will be consequences.
"Anyone who attempts
to derail our vision, we will not notify the person before he is shown
the way out. We are determined to move
the state to the next level."
He called on all the new
commissioners to show loyalty to
the administration as they work
towards a New Rivers State.
"I demand total loyalty. If you divide your loyalty, you will not
be in my cabinet. This administration is
determined to actualise her vision for
the state,” he said.
The Commissioners sworn-in
by the Rivers State Governor include: Mrs Nancy Nwankwo, Mr Chinyere
Igwe, Mr Michael West and Dr Reason Onya.
He directed the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Degema Local
Government Area of the state to pay salaries and work with security agencies to
maintain security in the area.
He urged the Degema Council Chairman to ensure the
regular payment of salaries, saying that
salary payment should not be compromised.
