The wave of resignations from the Rivers State Executive Council persisted on Friday as three more commissioners announced their departure.
Dr. Jacobson Nbina, Commissioner for Transportation; Dr. Gift Worlu, Commissioner for Housing; and Austen Ben-Chioma, Commissioner for Environment, submitted their resignations in separate letters addressed to the governor through the Secretary to the State Government. Both Nbina and Ben-Chioma previously served as commissioners in the immediate past administration of Nyesom Wike.
Their decision to resign comes amid the ongoing political turmoil following the bombing incident at the State House of Assembly on October 29, 2023.
With their exits, the number of commissioners who have resigned their appointments now stands at nine.
