The Rivers House of Assembly, on Wednesday, screened and
approved nominees for the state’s Civil Service Commission, Judicial Service
Commission and State Independent Electoral Commission.
The Speaker of the
house, Mr Ikunyi Ibani, made this known at the plenary of the House in Port
Harcourt. Ibani said that the names of the nominees, as submitted by Gov.
Nyesom Wike, were screened and found to be qualified and experienced to handle
the affairs of the state.
“The candidates are experienced through their
curriculum vitae and their past records of service should be approved as
members of the commissions.
“We have heard from their answers to various
questions asked to them by this house and we believe that they will serve the
interest of the state and not their own interest if appointed.’’ Mr Martins
Amaewhul (PDP- Obio/Akpor Constituency 1), supported the approval of the
nominees, saying that those nominated for the Judicial Service Commission were
qualified and experienced to serve.
Amaewhule said that the candidates screened
to serve the state should know that they were nominated to stand for justice.
He also said that they would be removed if they derailed from their
assignments.
Mr Uwaji Nathaniel (PDP- Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Constituency 11), said
that the nominees for the State Electoral Commission were not of questionable
character and should be approved by the house to serve the state. The house
unanimously approved all the nominees for the various Commissions.
The Nominees
for the State Judicial Service Commission are Prof. Nsirim Nduka, Mr Osima
Giniah, Mrs Assa Nwinia and Mr Friday Abigo. The nominees for the State Civil
Service Commission are Chief Oris Ongiri, Chief Mike Elechi, Mr GodsPower
Nwogu, Mr Tony Philmore and Mrs Sotonye Fulton. Those for the State Independent
