Rivers State House of Assembly, on Thursday, resolved to probe the state’s finances during the six-month administration of the immediate past sole administrator, Ibok-Ete Ibas.
The Assembly members resumed plenary on Thursday following the suspension of emergency rule and the restoration of democratic structures in the state by President Bola Tinubu.
During their first sitting in the past six months, the Assembly directed Governor Siminalayi Fubara to submit the 2025 appropriation bill for legislative consideration.
They also urged the governor to forward a list of commissioner-nominees for screening and confirmation.
The session, presided over by Speaker Martins Amaewhule, was held at the conference hall within the legislative quarters, while the Assembly complex remains under reconstruction after its demolition earlier this year.
President Tinubu had imposed emergency rule on Rivers on March 18 following a political crisis stemming from the rift between Governor Fubara and Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.
President Tinubu intervened and suspended the Governor, his deputy, Ngozi Nma Odu, and the lawmakers.
He then appointed Ibas to oversee the affairs of the state for six months.
