The Rivers Sole Administrator, retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, has assumed duty in the state.

Ibas, in an interview with journalists in Government House, Port Harcourt on Thursday, said he would meet with the Head of Service, Permanent Secretaries, and Service Commanders to get formal briefings.

Responding to his reception by Rivers people upon his arrival at the airport, Ibas said that Port Harcourt had always been his city and everything appeared calm in spite of the current political situation.

He stated that Port Harcourt City would go back to where it had always been.

He commended journalists in the state for what they had been doing in the line of their duties, and assured that he would address the press later. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
