Tinubu Submits ₦1.48trn Rivers Budget to NASS Amid Emergency Rule

  • President Bola Tinubu submitted the ₦1.481 trillion 2025 Rivers State budget proposal to the National Assembly following the March 18 emergency rule in Rivers State.
  • The emergency followed a political crisis that led to the suspension of Governor Fubara, Deputy Governor Odu, and all elected legislators, creating a governance vacuum.
  • Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas was appointed to oversee the state administration, while legislative responsibilities, including budget oversight, were taken over by the National Assembly.
  • Tinubu allocated ₦324 billion to infrastructure, ₦166 billion to health, ₦75.6 billion to education, and ₦31.4 billion to agriculture, which is expected to create about 6,000 jobs.
  • The budget aims to restore services and stability, with Tinubu urging urgent approval to ensure governance continuity during the state’s emergency period.
