Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has dissolved the newly inaugurated Rivers State Pensions Board less than three weeks after it was constituted.
The decision was announced on Friday in Port Harcourt through a statement signed by the State Head of Service, Inyingi Brown.
The board, established on September 12 under the leadership of former sole administrator Ibok-Ete Ibas, has been directed to hand over all assets and documents in its possession to the Director of Administration without delay.
Although no reason was given for the sudden dissolution, the statement explained that the Office of the Accountant-General of Rivers State will temporarily oversee the board’s responsibilities until a new one is formed.
This development marks Governor Fubara’s first major directive since his reinstatement by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on September 17.
