Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.), the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, has approved the appointment of administrators for the 23 Local Government Areas within the state.
The Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Ibibia Worika, shared in a Special Government Announcement on Wednesday morning that approval has been granted.
He said, “His Excellency The Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral (Rtd) Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas CFR, has approved the appointments of administrators for the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State.
“He has also approved the reconstitution of some boards of agencies, commissions, and parastatals, earlier suspended.
“All appointments take effect from Monday, the 7th of April 2025.”
The announcement comes less than 24 hours after a federal high court in Port Harcourt restrained the sole administrator from appointing caretaker chairmen the councils.
