Iboroma was confirmed a commissioner when he appeared for screening before the lawmakers at the Auditorium of the Administrative Block Building of Government House in Port Harcourt on Monday.
The lawmakers invited Iboroma following a letter written to them by Fubara requesting them to screen and confirm him as a commissioner.
It was gathered that the commissioner-nominee was led to the floor of the House by the Sergeant-at-Arms, David Wariboko.
Iboroma, who stood before the House reportedly fielded questions, and assured that his allegiance would be to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Rivers Governor and the State and promising to uphold his oath of office and to contributing his professional expertise to the good governance of the state.
The pro-Fubara Speaker, Victor Oko-Jumbo, divided the House for voting after the debate over the confirmation of Iboroma.
The lawmakers affirmed confidence in the nominee and confirmed him to serve as commissioner in the State Executive Council.
Oko-Jumbo instructed the Clerk of the House, Dr G. M. Gillis-West, to convey the resolution of the House to the Executive Governor of the state.
He expressed appreciation of other lawmakers to Fubara for his timely intervention in providing an alternative venue for them to discharge their legislative duties.
Oko-Jumbo condemned the burning of the hallowed chambers of the State House of Assembly by hoodlums on October 29, 2023, saying it caused a temporary setback in conducting proceedings of the House.
He said: “You will recall that we woke up on October 30, 2023, to see that some hoodlums and miscreants who did not mean well for our dear State and our people had set the hallowed chambers of the Rivers State House of Assembly on fire, which caused a temporary setback in the performance of our legislative functions. His Excellency’s intervention was indeed swift and timely, and we are grateful.”
The House later adjourned sitting to Thursday.
