Rivers Assembly to probe state finances under Ibas

Ibas

The Rivers House of Assembly has decided to probe the state’s finances during the six-month administration of Ibok-Ete Ibas as the Sole Administrator.

The development followed the resumption of the assembly sitting on Thursday after Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s suspension and the declaration of a state of emergency by President Bola Tinubu.

The emergency rule was lifted by Tinubu on September 17, and all democratic structures in the state have been restored.

The assembly, presided over by Martins Amaewhule, speaker of the house, has also asked Fubara to send the list of commissioners’ nominees for screening.

According to reports, the assembly complex is under construction after it was demolished by the state government months ago.
