In a bold stride toward restoring accountability and transparency in governance, the Rivers State Government has initiated a formal inquiry into appointments made during the tenure of suspended Governor Sir Siminialayi Fubara and his Deputy, Dr. Ngozi Ordu.

The directive, issued by the Sole Administrator of the state, Vice Admiral (Rtd.) Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, CFR, mandates both officials to appear before him for a comprehensive review of administrative decisions spanning the past two years.

As part of the inquiry, Sir Fubara is expected to provide detailed documentation and justification for all appointments carried out during his administration. This review will scrutinize adherence to due process and established protocols.

Additionally, the session will offer the suspended Governor an opportunity to formally present his defense and make a case for potential reinstatement.

Details of the Inquiry Session:

• Date: Friday, 18th April, 2025
• Time: 10:00 AM Prompt
• Venue: Conference Room, Rivers State Government House, Port Harcourt

Attendance is compulsory, as this process is a cornerstone of the Sole Administrator’s broader efforts to rebuild institutional integrity and ensure public trust in the governance of Rivers State.

This decisive move underscores Vice Admiral Ibas’s unwavering commitment to responsible leadership and administrative reform in the state.
