Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State has issued a stern directive to the newly sworn-in Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Dagogo S.A.

The governor cautioned that any involvement in secret or unauthorized late-night meetings, or any behavior capable of bringing disrepute to his government, would not be tolerated and could result in immediate removal from office.
Fubara emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and strict compliance with official procedures. He made it clear that his administration would not accept actions that could erode public confidence in government.
He also encouraged both officials to collaborate closely with members of the state executive council to ensure efficient governance and the successful implementation of government policies and programmes.
The governor delivered the warning shortly after administering the oath of office to the two officials at the Executive Council Chambers in Government House, Port Harcourt. The ceremony was conducted by the Chief Registrar of the Rivers State High Court, David Ihua-Maduenyi, who formally swore in the appointees.
Fubara reminded them that their appointments represented a responsibility to serve the public, not an opportunity for personal ambition or political showmanship. He stressed that their actions must consistently reflect integrity, discipline, and a commitment to the collective interest of Rivers State.
While addressing Dr. Wokoma, whom he described as a distinguished academic and mathematician, the governor expressed confidence in his ability to handle the demanding responsibilities of the SSG’s office. He noted that the role requires precision, discipline, and a strong sense of duty, urging him to uphold the dignity of the state at all times.
Speaking on the role of the Chief of Staff, Fubara highlighted the importance of effective coordination of government activities, management of official engagements, and the protection of the Government House’s reputation, stressing that the office plays a critical role in ensuring smooth administrative operations.
