| Dr. Adaeze Oreh. |
One of those affected by the sacking of members of the state executive council in Rivers State by the Governor, Sim Fubara is the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Adaeze Oreh, a brilliant healthcare professional as could be attested by those who know or knew her and, in her stride, she took her time to write this to health workers.
In the
same vein, she also acknowledged the Governor for finding her worthy to have
been so appointed to head the Ministry of Health in Rivers State.
According to
her, I am profoundly grateful to His Excellency, Governor Siminalayi Fubara,
for the extraordinary opportunity and immense privilege he extended to me to
serve as Commissioner for Health. This role allowed me to contribute directly
to his visionary leadership and the shared mission of transforming lives across
our beloved state. It has been one of the greatest honours of my life to work
towards a healthier, more equitable Rivers State, and I will forever be
thankful for the trust and confidence he placed in me.
The true
joy of this tenure lay in the remarkable opportunity it presented, to do
meaningful, life-changing work for the people of Rivers State. Together, we
strengthened the foundations of primary healthcare, advanced maternal and child
health outcomes, expanded access to quality services, promoted greater
accountability, and forged powerful partnerships that elevated Rivers State's
voice in national and global health discussions. These were not isolated
accomplishments but collective triumphs born from the unwavering dedication of
our health workers, the support of development partners, and the resilience and
trust of the communities we served.
I extend
my heartfelt appreciation to the Permanent Secretaries, Chief Executives,
Directors, Medical Officers for Health, frontline professionals, and every
member of the Ministry of Health team. Your quiet excellence, passion, and
commitment made it possible to leverage every opportunity to build stronger
systems and deliver real impact for our people - our women, children, men, the
elderly, persons living with disabilities, and the most vulnerable.
As I step
aside in line with the Governor’s directive, I do so with immense pride in the
progress we achieved together and full confidence in the talented professionals
who will carry this vital work forward. Public service is about seizing
opportunities to serve selflessly, and I am deeply honoured to have had this
chance under Governor Fubara’s administration.
My
commitment to the people of Rivers State remains steadfast. I will continue to
champion stronger health systems, equitable access, innovative policies, and
the amplification of community voices wherever opportunities arise to
contribute to health development, institutional reform, and public service in
our state and beyond.
To our healthcare workers: Your sacrifice, professionalism, and compassion remain the heartbeat of our health system. Keep embracing every opportunity to serve with excellence.
To the
good people of Rivers State across our riverine and upland communities: Thank
you for the trust, engagement, and shared conviction that together we can and
must build a brighter future.
The pride
in the opportunity to have served you as #ThePeoplesCommissioner endures, and
the work continues.
May GOD bless Rivers State and may we see our beloved state rightfully and sustainably positioned in growth and development.
