Prof Worika’s role will be critical in driving this vision, ensuring that every policy, every decision and every action is in consonance with this administration’s mandate to restore law and order.
Professor Ibibia Worika, who was recently appointed as the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), has been tasked by the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rted), with the responsibility of utilizing his extensive experience in the administration of the state.
Shortly after Worika was sworn in as the new Secretary to the State Government on Wednesday in the Executive Chambers of Government House, Ibas delivered the charge statement.
This comes right after the state’s entire executives and all of its appointees, including Dr. Tammy Danagogo, the suspended SSG, were announced to be suspended.
The announcement came from the Government House Press Unit, which stated that the Administrator congratulated Worika and expressed his intention to make his appointment more than just an administrative decision.
The statement read, “To our new SSG, the task ahead is onerous, but your track record leaves no doubt in our minds that you will prove your mettle. Rivers State needs your intellect, grit and unwavering dedication. Together, we will write a new chapter of progress for this great state.
“Prof Worika’s role will be critical in driving this vision, ensuring that every policy, every decision and every action is in consonance with this administration’s mandate to restore law and order, stabilize the polity and to create the necessary conditions for the restoration of democratic institutions and representations.
“You have no time to settle down. You must roll up your sleeves and get to work with the team.
“Our civil servants with whom we will work closely to run this administration are critical stakeholders and we must work with them to ensure that the state continues to function effectively during this administration.
“To the Permanent Secretaries and civil servants as a whole, once more I will ask for your kind cooperation and support as we work to achieve our objectives at this time.”
