Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has ordered the immediate dissolution of the Rivers State Pensions Board
A government special announcement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday evening by the State Head of Service, Mrs Inyingi Brown, stated that the office of the State Accountant General will take over the board’s responsibilities until a new board is constituted.
The announcement directed members of the former board to hand over all properties and assets in their possession to the Director of Administration of the Board. No reason was given for the dissolution.
The statement reads: “The Executive Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has approved the immediate dissolution of the Rivers State Pensions Board. Consequently, the Office of the Accountant General of Rivers State, henceforth, will handle the functions of the Board. Members of the defunct board are by this notice advised to hand over all properties and assets of the board in their possession to the Director of Administration of the Board. His Excellency, the Executive Governor, will in due course constitute a new board to manage the affairs of Pensions.”
This is Governor Fubara’s first major directive since his reinstatement by President Bola Tinubu on September 18.
