Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt

After about threemonths of inactivity, the Rivers State House of Assembly received the 2026-2028 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) document from Governor Siminialayi Fubara, following resumption of legislative sitting yesterday.

The MTEF, which provides the fiscal framework for government spending and revenue projections over a three-year period, was transmitted to the Assembly through a letter read by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, during the first legislative sitting of the Fourth Session of the Tenth Assembly.

Reading the letter, Amaewhule informed the House that he was in receipt of the MTEF document, which was later laid before the House by the Majority Leader, Hon. Major Jack, who is also the leader of government business.

According to the Speaker, the letter from Governor Fubara conveyed the administration’s proposed Medium Term Expenditure Framework for 2026–2028, a document expected to guide the preparation of the 2026 Appropriation Bill and subsequent annual budgets.
