Barr. Chris Green
Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has approved a minor reshuffle in the State Executive Council, redeploying the Commissioner for Sports, Christopher Green, to the Ministry of Justice as the new Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
Green’s redeployment follows the vacancy created by the Supreme Court’s judgment of February 28, which nullified the earlier appointment of Mr. Dagogo Iboroma (SAN) as Attorney General.
The development was announced in a statement issued by Dr. Honour Sirawoo, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Communications. According to the statement, Green will assume his new role immediately.
According to the statement, Barrister Green will also continue to coordinate the activities of the Ministry of Sports pending the appointment of a substantive Commissioner to oversee the ministry
The decision, which received approval at the last State Executive Council meeting of 2025, is seen as part of the Governor’s efforts to strengthen governance, ensure continuity in service delivery, and enhance efficiency across key ministries.
The redeployment marks another strategic move by the Fubara administration as it recalibrates its cabinet to reinforce institutional stability in the wake of recent judicial and political developments in the state.
