The Rivers State House of Assembly has screened and confirmed the 22 nominees as Chairmen of Caretaker Committees of the State Local Government Areas.

The Speaker of the Assembly, Mr Ikunye Ibani, told the members of the caretaker committees in Port Harcourt on Monday to see their appointment as an avenue for service to the people.

He called on them to always be their brothers’ keepers by ensuring that they put smiles on the faces of the people at the grassroots.
