Fubara submits medium expenditure framework to Rivers Assembly

June 25, 2026 1:03 pm

Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has submitted the 2026/2028 Medium Term Expenditure Framework to the Rivers State House of Assembly for consideration and approval.

Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, confirmed receipt of the document at an emergency plenary convened on Thursday morning.

However, the House later deferred debate on the medium-term expenditure framework to a later date and adjourned sitting.

Recall that the House sat last four months ago, precisely in February, when it screened Commissioner-nominees forwarded by the governor, after which it adjourned sine die.

Hitherto, the House had convened on January 8th, 2026, when it initiated impeachment against Fubara before adjourning and subsequently failing to reconvene on the scheduled resumption date of February 15.
