The Commissioner for Education in Rivers, Prof. Prince Mmom, has resigned from the state government’s service.
Prof. Mmom is the fourth commissioner to resign from Governor SIM Fubara’s cabinet in less than 24hrs.
Others are Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zaccheaus Adangor, Dr. Kelly George, Commissioner for Works; Mr Chukwuemeka Woke, Chief of Staff to the Governor; and Isaac Kamalu, the Commissioner for Finance.
Mmom’s resignation was disclosed in a letter routed through the Secretary to Rivers State Government (SSG) office to the governor on Thursday in Port Harcourt.
In his letter, Mmom said his resignation was for personal reasons.
“I hereby resign my appointment as the Commissioner for Education, Rivers State, for personal reasons.
“I wish to express my sincere appreciation to you for the opportunity given to me to serve in your administration and wish you the best as you carry on with the government of our dear state,” the letter read.
Many of the commissioners had similarly resigned from the State Executive Council, including the Commissioner for Social Welfare, Mrs Inime Aguma.
