Court nullifies Rivers 2024 budget passed by four factional lawmakers

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday nullified the N800 billion 2024 budget passed by the Rivers State House of Assembly and signed into law by Governor Simi Fubara.

The decision throws the state’s financial plan into uncertainty amid an ongoing political dispute.

Governor Fubara presented the N800 billion Appropriation Bill in December to a faction of the state assembly composed of only four lawmakers.
