The Chairman of the five man panel, Justice Adolphous Enebeli, who made this disclosure at the close of the hearing process of the commission last Wednesday in Port Harcourt, averred  that the ministry had some individuals who were not qualified to handle the positions they occupied ,adding that such a ministry concerned with physical development must have professionals in the different areas of specialisation.

The chairman commended Governor Wike and all those who contributed to the success of the hearing as he promised that the commission would not be biased in their reports but will give recommendations that would forestall future occurrence of such disasters.
