Rivers Commissioner for Works, Dr. George-Kelly Alabo, has resigned from his position to join President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration. Alabo's resignation came after Tinubu appointed him as the Director-General of the Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA).
Alabo, a supporter of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike, was one of the commissioners who resigned during the crisis between Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara in the state.
Following President Tinubu's nine-point peace resolution to resolve the state's crisis, Governor Fubara reabsorbed Alabo into the cabinet. However, Alabo tendered a fresh resignation letter after accepting Tinubu's appointment.
In his resignation letter dated March 14th and addressed to Fubara, Alabo stated that his action was to enable him to accept the appointment graciously offered to him by the President. He expressed appreciation to Governor Fubara for the opportunity to serve Rivers State as the Commissioner for Works.
