The Rivers State House of Assembly,
under the leadership of Martin Amaewhule,
has instructed the state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, to resubmit the 2024 budget within a 7-day timeframe.
This directive was given during the initial session of the pro-Wike House on Monday
following a prolonged break.
In the meantime, a separate session is being conducted by
the House faction led by Victor Oko-Jumbo. Ehie and the pro-Fubara legislators approved
the budget estimates,
which were subsequently signed into law by the governor with the aim of
fostering economic development, inclusive growth, and addressing socio-economic disparities in the state
