Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Danagogo Iboroma has been screened and confirmed as member of the Rivers State Executive Council.
He was confirmed on Monday by
the Rivers State House of Assembly led by Victor Oko-Jumbo.
The development is coming five
days after Oko-Jumbo emerged as the new speaker of the Assembly.
He thanked Governor Fubara for
providing another location for the Assembly to carry on with its legislative
functions pending the time a new chamber is reconstructed. This comes after
Governor Fubara issued an Executive Order relocating the sitting of the House
of Assembly to the auditorium at the administrative block of the Government
House.
The decision, according to
Governor Fubara, was taken because the current House of Assembly complex in its
present state is not safe and constitutes a threat to the lives of the staff
and the lawmakers.
Danagogo Iboroma, may have been
nominated to replace Professor Zaccheus Adangor, who recently resigned as the
State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice after he rejected his
redeployment to the Ministry of Special Duties; Governor’s Office.
Expectedly, the majority of the
questions thrown at the Commissioner-nominee border on the issues of loyalty
and commitment to service.
With the question-and-answer
session over, Iboroma was then granted permission to take his leave to allow
the lawmakers to deliberate further on his nomination.
Their deliberations however did
not take much time as the Assembly unanimously agreed to confirm his nomination
as a member of the Rivers State Executive Council.
With the matter of the day
concluded, the Assembly immediately adopted a motion moved by the leader to
adjourn sitting until Thursday, May 16.
