There’s confusion surrounding the inauguration of the newly confirmed State Services Commission in Rivers State. Some reports claim a Rivers State High Court has barred Sole Administrator Ibok-Ete Ibas from inaugurating the commission, citing a pending matter before the court. However, the Rivers State Judiciary has vehemently denied the allegations.
According to some sources, a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt issued an order restraining Ibok-Ete Ibas from inaugurating the newly confirmed chairman and members of the State Services.
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied issuing such an order, describing the report as “malicious, mendacious, and bereft of any modicum of truth.” The denial was made in a statement signed by the Deputy Chief Registrar (Litigation) of the High Court, Menenen Poromon.
The conflicting reports have created uncertainty around the inauguration of the State Services Commission. It’s essential to wait for further clarification and official statements from relevant authorities to understand the situation better.
