The Commissioner for Works in Rivers State, Dr. George-Kelly Alabo, has resigned his appointment to join the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Alabo’s resignation was following his appointment by Tinubu as the Director-General of Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA).

Alabo, a loyalist of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike, was among the commissioners, who resigned their appointments in the state during the crisis between Wike and the Rivers State Governor, Sir. Siminalayi Fubara.

He was later reabsorbed into the cabinet by the governor in fulfillment of one of the nine-point peace resolutions brokered by President Tinubu to resolve the crisis in the state.

It was, however, gathered that Alabo tendered a fresh resignation letter after accepting Tinubu’s appointment.

In his resignation letter dated March 14th and addressed to Fubara, Alabo said his action was to enable him accept the appointment graciously offered him by the President.

He said: “I hereby resign my appointment as the Commissioner for Works in Rivers State to enable me take up an appointment graciously offered to me by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“I appreciate your Excellency for the opportunity to serve my beloved Rivers State as the Commissioner for Works.”
