The governor urged the commissioners to establish themselves as persons who are known for the development of the state.

He said: “These appointments are not opportunities for appointees to enrich themselves. If you attempt to enrich yourselves, there will be consequences.

“Anyone who attempts to derail our vision, we will not notify the person before he is shown the way out. We are determined to move the state to the next level “.

He called on all the new commissioners to show loyalty to the administration as they work towards a New Rivers State.
