Fubara signs Rivers’ N800 billion 2024 budget into law

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State on Thursday signed the state’s N800 billion 2024 budget into law, barely 24 hours after it was presented to a four-man House of Assembly for approval.

Speaking at the ceremony at the Government House, Port Harcourt, Mr Fubara said the budget would provide the framework for his administration to undertake notable road projects that would connect communities across the state.

“This budget shows that we have a plan for our dear state. One of the reasons why our budget is in the volume of N800 billion is that we intend not just by desiring, to ensure that one key request of our dear state is met.
