By Nnaji-Harry Marshall, Port Harcourt

The Rivers Judicial Commission of Inquiry on the administration of former 

Gov. Rotimi  Amaechi will begin hearing in the State Monorail project  

Thursday, August 27, 2015  the Chairman,

Justice George Omereji, has said.

Omereji made the announcement after former the State's Commissioner 

for Agriculture, Mr Emma Chinda, and 12 former local government area chairmen 

representing   co-operative societies failed to appear and explain issues on the 

disbursement of the agriculture fund.

When the Commission sitting in Port Harcourt convened   Wednesday,

 Mr Zacchaeus Adangor, Counsel to the panel announced the 

failure of persons summoned to testify on the

disbursement of the  N4 billion  agricultural loan

“In view of the fact that there is no witness to give evidence on the

agriculture scheme, the commission has decided to adjourn the

proceedings till Aug 27 for the hearing on the monorail project,” he

said.
