There seems to be a ray of hope at the end of the tunnel as Rivers State House of Assembly led by Hon Martin Amaewhule has invited for screening the nine commissioners who resigned their positions last.
Recall that the political logjam that recently engulfed the oil rich state took a fresh dimension as President Bola Tinubu waded into it to avoid its escalation.
This was contained in a Monday statement by the Clerk of the Rivers State House of Assembly Emeka Amadi.
Recall that part of the 8-point peace agenda signed by Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike included the reappointment of the commissioners who resigned.
Read statement below:

“Nominees are to come along with 40 sets of Curriculum Vitae (CV), photocopies of their credentials and their originals.”
The move came months after the nominees resigned their positions as commissioners in the Fubara cabinet owing to the political impasse between Wike, the immediate past governor of the state, and Fubara.
