Emmanuel Aguma, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, had earlier been sworn in as attorney general and commissioner for justice, bringing the number of commissioners in the state to 20.

The governor had on August 30 sworn in 14 of the commissioners, but did not assign them portfolios. Nine of those appointees were part of the state executive council dissolved by Governor Wike in June.

Performing the swearing-in, Mr. Wike had charged the commissioners to exhibit 100 percent loyalty.

He said: “We demand 100 percent loyalty. This work deserves total commitment. When you have the opportunity to serve the state, it is a rare privilege. Therefore, you have to be committed to service.

“We are rebuilding the state because a lot went wrong during the immediate past administration of the APC. You need to put in your best.”

According to the governor, those who put in their best will be noticed by the people and rewarded in future.

“Once you do your work, people will notice you and appreciate the quality of your service to the state. That is why you must continue to put in your best,” he said.

He urged the commissioners to respect their oath of office and live responsibly as top officials of the state government.

“Don’t see your appointment as your time to eat because there is nothing to eat,” he said. “You are appointed to work. If you cannot meet up with the tempo of the administration, just withdraw.”
