The Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Ibok-Ete Ibas, on Monday swore in the newly appointed Chairman and members of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
Those inaugurated include Dr. Michael Ekpai Odey as Chairman, alongside six members: Mr. Lezaasi Lenee Torbira, Professor Arthur Nwafor, Professor Godfrey Woke Mbudiogha, Professor (Dame) Joyce Akaninwor, Dr. (Mrs) Olive A. Bruce, and Professor Chidi Halliday.
The event confirms earlier speculations that the RSIEC officials would be formally inaugurated today as part of efforts to reconstitute the state’s electoral body.
