Rivers State House of Assembly stops Governor Fubara's spending until 2024 budget submission.

Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule, has halted Governor Siminalayi Fubara's spending until he presents the 2024 budget to the House. This decision comes after the expiration of a 7-day ultimatum the assembly had given to the governor. The assembly resolved that Governor Fubara is no longer allowed to authorize expenditures from the state's consolidated revenue fund or permit ministries to spend public funds until the 2024 budget is submitted.
