Nearly two months after the presentation of the Rivers State 2026 Appropriation Bill of N1.84tn to the state House of Assembly, Governor Siminalayi Fubara on Thursday signed the passed budget.
The governor had presented the appropriation bill to the Assembly on July 10, 2026, for consideration and approval.
The Assembly, however, passed the budget and presented it to the governor on Thursday, paving the way for its assent.
Meanwhile, Fubara has signed the 2026 State Appropriation Bill into law, describing it as “a breath of fresh air” and the beginning of a new chapter of unity and progress for the state.
At a brief ceremony held at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Fubara expressed gratitude to God, stakeholders and the lawmakers for the successful passage of the budget.
