Fubara stated that the office of the State Accountant General will handle the functions of the Board until a new board is constituted.
This was revealed in a government special announcement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday evening by the State Head of Service, Mrs. Inyingi Brown, and obtained by our correspondent.
