The Rivers State House of Assembly has given Governor Siminalayi Fubara a 48-hour deadline to present the 2025 budget, warning that failure to do so would violate the nation’s appropriation laws.
The directive was issued on Monday during a plenary session in Port Harcourt, where lawmakers emphasized the importance of following legal procedures in the state’s budgetary process.
This development follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that reinstated over 20 lawmakers loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, further shifting the political dynamics within the assembly.
The legislators maintained that the governor must adhere to the legal framework to ensure effective governance and financial planning for the state.
