“The Rivers State Pensions Board has been dissolved, effective immediately.
“The Office of the Accountant General will handle the board’s functions until a new board is constituted.
“Former board members are required to hand over all properties and assets to the Director of Administration”, the statement reads.
This move marks Governor Fubara’s first major directive since his reinstatement by President Bola Tinubu on September 18, following a six-month emergency rule in the state.
