Rivers: Assembly to probe expenditure under Ibas

Ibas

The Rivers state house of assembly has resolved to investigate the management of the state’s finances during the six-month period when Ibok-Ete Ibas served as sole administrator.

The lawmakers, who resumed plenary on Thursday morning following the lifting of emergency rule, also called on Siminalayi Fubara, the governor, to transmit the 2025 appropriation bill for consideration.

The assembly urged the governor to forward a list of commissioner-nominees for screening and confirmation.

President Bola Tinubu lifted the state of emergency on September 17, restoring all democratic structures in the state. Thecable
