Wike appoints new Works Commissioner, LG Caretaker Chairmen

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has replaced his Commissioner for Works, Kevin Wachukwu, with Harrison Bethel Iheanyichukwu.
He also inaugurated the caretaker committee chairmen for 17 out of 23 local government areas in the state.
The caretaker committee chairmen were screened by the state House of Assembly on Monday.
Wike, according to his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, declared that the new works commissioner must work hard to deliver on the new Rivers projects.
He said: “I have a covenant with the Rivers people to deliver quality projects and no commissioner will drag me back.”
The governor also charged Iheanyichukwu to always be on the road supervising projects and reporting progress of work at all times.
He added: “The former works commissioner (Wachukwu) is intelligent, but he could not meet up with the pace of work at the ministry. Take your (Iheanyichukwu’s) work very seriously. There should be no compromise.
“The day you misinform me on the status of projects, will be the day you will be sacked. The day you begin to use your office to form rings will be the day you will lose out.”
