Three More Commissioners Resign In Rivers

Three more commissioners resigned from the Rivers State Executive Council on Friday.

Their resignation came on the heels of the political crisis that has engulfed the state since the bombing of the State House of Assembly on October 29, 2023.

They are Commissioner for Transportation Dr. Jacobson Nbina; Commissioner for Housing, Dr. Gift Worlu; and Commissioner for Environment, Austen Ben-Chioma.

Their resignations were contained in separate letters and addressed to the governor through the Secretary to the State Government.

Osun Defender reports that Nbina and Ben-Chioma were also commissioners during the immediate past administration of Nyesom Wike.

This brings to nine the commissioners who have resigned.
