The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retired) on Wednesday appointed chairmen and members of eight boards of the Rivers State University Governing Council.

Ibas also made similar appointments for the members of the board of the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital.
In this case, Sampson Parker, a former Rivers State commissioner for health will serve as chairman.
Also, the Chief Medical Director,Chizindu Alikor will retain his position.
Samuel Nwanosike, an associate of the former governor Nyesom Wike was appointed as the chairman of the board of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency.
Nwanosike had earlier served as the chairman of the Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
Also, Wokoma Amakiri was appointed managing director.
Announcing the appointment, Ibibia Worika, the Secretary to the State Government said Ibas approved the positions of the new appointees.
Other appointees include the chairman of the Rivers State Universal Basic Education Commission, Samuel Ogeh; the chairman of the Rivers State Senior Secondary Education Board, Tony Egwurugwu; the chairman of the Rivers State Internal Revenue, Israel Egbunefu; the Chairman of the Rivers State Contributory Health Protection Programme, Princewill Chike and Vetty Agala will remain as the Executive Secretary.
Subsequently, Adolphus Toby has been appointed as the chairman of the board of the Rivers State Microfinance Agency while five others were appointed as members.
While a date for their inauguration is yet to be made public, all the new appointees will be sworn in by the State’s Sole Administrator.
A month to go, new appointment. Nigerians, Nigerians. A country full of wonders. Impunity has become the order of the day. Remember, what comes goes around comes around. Nigeria politicians should stop the destruction of Nigeria democracy because of their selfish interest.
Prof. Chizindu Alikor is the only round peg in a round whole i see here.
Even the sole administrator lacks integrity, hence, he is being used as a bait for political gain and maneuver. He is equally a corrupt entity that easily dance to the tune of those than plant him into power.
May the will of God prevail in the politics of Rivers State…Amen
River state is owned by Nigeria and the Nigerian government will decide what will happen constitutionally when someone or something is going to the wrong way, chikina
