Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly are currently conducting the screening of commissioner nominees submitted by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Nine nominees were escorted into the Assembly around 10 a.m. on Monday. They include Datonye Alasia, Tonye Bellgam, Temple Nwofor, Peters Nwagor, Mrs. Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, Lekue Kenneth, Otonye TKD Amachree, and Amairigha Hart.
The nominees’ list was forwarded to the lawmakers by Governor Fubara on March 5, 2026, for screening and confirmation.
Subsequently, the House of Assembly invited nominees for appointment as commissioners and members of the Rivers State Executive Council to submit the required documents for screening.
This is the first time commissioner nominees would be screened by the House since the emergency rule ended in September 2025.
