Rivers sole administrator swears in new SSG

The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete  Ibas (rted), has charged the new Secretary to the State Government, Prof Ibibia Worika, to bring his wealth of experience to bear in governance of the State.

Ibas gave the charge shortly after swearing in Worika as the new SSG at the Executive Chambers of Government House on Wednesday.

This is just as the sole administrator announced the suspension of all government and political office holders and appointees in the state, including the now suspended SSG, Dr. Tammy Danagogo.

A statement from the Government House Press Unit, said the Administrator while congratulating Worika, noted that his appointment was not merely an administrative decision but a statement of intent.

He explained that the new SSG has an unparalleled expertise in law, policy and international governance, which align perfectly with the mission to restore law, order, integrity and public trust in Rivers State.

The statement quotes him as saying, “To our new SSG, the task ahead is onerous, but your track record leaves no doubt in our minds that you will prove your mettle. Rivers State needs your intellect, grit and unwavering dedication. Together, we will write a new chapter of progress for this great state.
