The Rivers State House of Assembly has passed the 2026–2028 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) submitted to it for consideration by Siminalayi Fubara, the state governor.
Martin Amaewhule, speaker of the State Assembly, had, during Thursday’s plenary, acknowledged receipt of the MTEF from Governor Fubara, and the document was later laid before the House by Major Jack, the Majority Leader.
The Assembly reportedly deferred debate on the document to the next legislative day for “proper, detailed scrutiny.”
The lawmakers passed the MTEF on Friday.
The MTEF projected N1.84 trillion as the spending estimate for 2026, with over N400 billion in recurrent expenditure and over N1.4 trillion for capital expenditure.
