Three months after the Rivers State House of Assembly sat to screen eight commissioner-nominees sent to it by Governor Siminalayi Fubara for confirmation as members of the State Executive Council, the lawmakers have yet to reconvene.
Recall that the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, adjourned sitting after the March 9 plenary.
Fubara had submitted the names of eight commissioner-nominees, including two professors, to the House.
During the screening, which was beamed live on national television, the lawmakers subjected the nominees to a rigorous process.
In the end, four of the nominees were rejected while five were cleared and their names sent to the governor for appointment as commissioners.
