Lawmakers in the Rivers State House of Assembly have begun screening of commissioner nominees sent to them by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Nine nominees – Datonye Alasia, Tonye Bellgam, Temple Nwofor, Peters Nwagor, Mrs. Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, Lekue Kenneth, Otonye TKD Amachree, and Amairigha Hart – were escorted into the House at about 10 a.m. on Monday.
21st CENTURY CHRONICLE reports that each nominee went to the podium, introduced themselves, and fielded questions from lawmakers.
Governor Fubara forwarded the list to the lawmakers on March 5, 2026, after dissolving the State Executive Council.
The assembly, through a notice signed by Clerk Dr. Emeka Amadi dated March 3, 2026, had earlier directed the nominees to submit 40 copies of their curricula vitae, credential photocopies, and tax compliance evidence in preparation for the screening and confirmation process.
