Worlu’s resignation letter –which was addressed to the governor had said that his resignation as the Commissioner for Housing was due to personal reasons that needed his prompt attention.
Mmom’s letter had said something similar.
It read: “I hereby resign my appointment as the Honorable Commissioner for Education, Rivers State for private reasons.
“I wish to communicate my deepest appreciation to you for the opportunity offered me to serve in your leadership and wish you the best as you carry on with the governance of our beloved state.”
Nbina, had said that his resignation was private due to family commitments.
This series of resignations began on Thursday with the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zaccheus Adangor. However, his resignation letter was dated November 14, 2023.
His notice was followed by the Ministry of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Commissioner, Inemi Aguma; the Commissioner for Works, George Kelly Alabo; and the Commissioner for Finance, Isaac Kamalu.
