Siminalayi Fubara, Governor of Rivers State, has signed the N1.854 trillion 2026 Rivers 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.
A Government House statement signed by Onwuka Nzeshi, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, said that the signing ceremony took place on Thursday inside Government House with Fubara expressing gratitude to God, stakeholders, and the state House of Assembly for the successful passage of the budget.
“First of all, we want to thank the Almighty God for making this day a reality. I strongly believe that it is a breath of fresh air and a healthy relationship moving forward,” he said.
The budget had been the subject of debate due to the silence surrounding it since the governor presented it to the legislature over a month ago.
