Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has sacked all commissioners and public officers serving under his administration.
Fubara, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Wednesday evening by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi, said the sacking was with immediate effect.
The governor said the decision followed the recent Supreme Court judgment.
Meanwhile, Fubara thanked members of his cabinet for their services and contributions to the development of the State in the last two years.
He made the announcement during a valedictory session he held with his cabinet to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary in Government House, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.
