In Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has lifted the indefinite suspension of Reuben Izeze, the Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads). Izeze was originally suspended on August 10 following allegations of an assault on the governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, Simon Mudi. The incident had previously led to Izeze being arraigned at a Delta State High Court and remanded at the Nigerian Correctional Service facility in Okere, Warri.

During a swearing-in ceremony in Asaba, the governor stated that Izeze had sought forgiveness and expressed a willingness to face the public. Oborevwori directed Izeze to resume his duties after a period of 10 weeks from the original suspension date, while noting that public officials must maintain discipline and adhere to the law.
