Just In: Tinubu Asks National Assembly To Approve ₦1.481 Trillion 2025 Rivers Budget

President Bola Tinubu has transmitted the ₦1.481 trillion 2025 Rivers State budget to the National Assembly.

Naijaonpoint reports that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, read Tinubu’s request during Thursday’s plenary.

Recall that on March 18, 2025, Tinubu suspended the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, alongside his deputy, Ngozi Odu, and all members of the Rivers Assembly for six months.

Tinubu also declared a state of emergency in the oil-rich state, citing a protracted political crisis.

The President subsequently named an ex-naval chief, Ibok-Ete Ibas,  as sole administrator for Rivers.
