RovingNaija Reporters recall that part of the 8-point peace agenda brokered by President Bola Tinubu and signed by Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike included the reappointment of the commissioners who resigned.

The move came months after the nominees resigned their positions as commissioners in the Fubara cabinet owing to the political impasse between Wike, the immediate past governor of the state, and Fubara.

President Bola Tinubu had waded into the crisis and brokered peace between the duo, leading to the signing of an eight-point resolution. Their re-nomination is part of the peace deal.
