Fubara submits 2026–2028 fiscal framework to Rivers Assembly

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has submitted the 2026–2028 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework, MTEF, to the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Speaker of the House, Martin Chike Amaewhule, read a letter from Governor Fubara conveying the submission of the three-year fiscal framework during an emergency sitting held on Thursday morning.

The sitting marked the Assembly’s first plenary session in more than three months, following its last meeting to screen commissioner nominees forwarded by the governor.

Prior to that session, the House had met on January 8, when it initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Fubara before adjourning and failing to reconvene on its scheduled resumption date of January 15.

At the end of Thursday’s plenary, lawmakers deferred consideration of the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework to a later date.
