Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has issued a stern warning to his newly appointed Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Dagogo Wokoma, and Chief of Staff, Sunny Ewule to refrain from secret meetings.

During their swearing-in at Government House, Port Harcourt, the governor demanded absolute loyalty and discipline.

Fubara emphasized that these appointments are a call to service and not a platform for personal ambition or political grandstanding.

He made it clear that the primary focus of his administration is the welfare and progress of the people of Rivers State.

The governor warned that any involvement in unauthorized “nocturnal meetings” or activities that could embarrass the government would lead to immediate termination. He stressed that his administration would not tolerate any conduct that compromises the state’s peace and stability.

Governor Fubara stated, “If you involve yourself in nocturnal meetings or similar activities, I will sack you. I am very serious. What matters to me is the peace, progress, and prosperity of this state. I will not compromise on that.”

To the new SSG, Fubara highlighted the need for thoroughness and dignity, noting that the office represents the state government. He urged him to ensure that the administration’s ongoing and inherited projects are concluded in a way that benefits the public.

The governor also addressed Permanent Secretaries, directing those at retirement age to prepare their handover notes. He warned against financial misconduct and noted that he is closely monitoring the system to ensure strict accountability.
