Rivers State House of Assembly (RVHA) has confirmed caretaker committee members for seventeen out of the twenty-three local government councils that make up the state.

Also screened and confirmed today was a commissioner designate, Mr. Allison Bethel Iheanyichukwu.
Responding to questions shortly after the plenary session, Whip of the house, Evans Bipi said the other batch of caretaker nominees are expected soon to fill-up the remaining councils.
On why some nominees were asked to “take a bow and leave”, Bipi said the members already have their details, adding that some of them who are returning members have earlier been screened.
