The Rivers State Government, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has approved a reshuffle of the State Executive Council.
The announcement, seen as a strategic move aimed at bolstering the administrative efficiency of the State, also marks a significant shift in the State’s legal and administrative leadership.
Barrister Christopher Green formerly in the ministry of sports, now moves to the Ministry of Justice as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
The official directive was communicated via a statement issued by Dr Honour Sirawoo, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Communications.
According to the statement, the Governor’s decision is designed to optimise the performance of key ministries as the administration enters a new phase of governance. Barrister Green will still continue to coordinate activities of the Ministry of Sports.
He will oversee the later’s affairs in an acting capacity until such time as a substantive Commissioner is appointed. The realignment has been ratified during the final State Executive Council meeting of 2025.
Observers suggest the timing of the redeployment underscores Governor Fubara’s resolve to enter the forthcoming year with a strengthened legal framework and a renewed commitment to seamless service delivery for the people of Rivers State.
The statement noted that the redeployment takes immediate effect, reflecting the urgency with which the Governor seeks to harmonise the state’s legal strategies and executive functions.
