Rivers State Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.) has appointed administrators for the 23 Local Government Areas of the state.

Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Ibibia Worika disclosed this in a Special Government Announcement issued on Wednesday morning.

Although the details of the new appointees were not mentioned, the statement said the appointments take immediate effect.

It reads, “His Excellency The Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral (Rtd) Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas CFR, has approved the appointments of administrators for the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State.

“He has also approved the reconstitution of some boards of agencies, commissions, and parastatals, earlier suspended.

“All appointments take effect from Monday, the 7th of April 2025.”

It was learnt that Ibas also approved the constitution of some boards of agencies, commissions and parastatals which he had earlier suspended.

The appointment is coming barely 24 hours after a Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt reportedly restrained Ibas from appointing administrators to oversea the affairs of the local government councils.
