The Rivers State House of Assembly has assured Governor Siminalayi Fubara of speedy consideration of the proposed N1.854tn 2026 Appropriation Bill despite its late presentation.
Fubara presented the appropriation bill, christened ‘Budget of Resilience for Growth and Development’, to the Assembly for consideration and approval.
The Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, stated that the budget was presented after six months of the fiscal year had elapsed.
He, however, assured the governor that despite the delay, the House would consider the proposal in line with the law and in the interest of the state.
Presenting the estimates before the lawmakers in Port Harcourt, the governor said the budget was the product of extensive public participation and reflected a shared vision of building an economically resilient, thriving and prosperous Rivers State.
