Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has approved the appointment of Benibo Anabraba as the new Secretary to the Rivers State Government (SSG).

Naijaonpoint reports that the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Communications, Honour Sirawoo, made this known in a statement on Monday.

According to the statement, the new SSG will be sworn in on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. in the State Executive Council Chambers, Government House, Port Harcourt.

The statement reads, “His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, Governor of Rivers State, has approved the appointment of Hon Benibo Anabraba as Secretary to the Rivers State Government.

“The new Secretary to Rivers State Government will be sworn in by His Excellency, on Monday, October 13, 2025, by 4pm at the State Executive Council Chambers, Government House, Port Harcourt. Guest, are to be seated by 3:30pm.”

Anabraba, a former Minority Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly who represented Akuku-Toru Constituency II, replaces Tammy Danagogo.

Danagogo had served in the position from the second term of former Governor, Nyesom Wike, to the first two years of the Fubara administration before the declaration of emergency rule.

Meanwhile, Fubara has handed a one-month ultimatum to Raffoul Nigeria Limited, the contractor handling the 6.5-kilometre Woji–Aleto–Alesa–Refinery Road, warning that failure to meet the deadline will result in the outright termination of the contract.

Naijaonpoint reports that the governor issued the directive on Friday during an unscheduled inspection of the project site, where he was accompanied by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Special Projects, Hebron Wisdom.

His Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, disclosed the governor’s stance in a statement.

Visibly displeased, Fubara berated the contractor for what he described as poor performance, despite the multiple variations approved to aid completion of the road and its 200-metre bridge.
