Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State
The Rivers state House of Assembly has passed the local government Amendment Bill into law without the assent of the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
The Assembly on Monday, April 22, defied the state High Court’s order directing the status quo on the issue of elongating the tenure of elected local government officials, which formed part of the amendment.
The House was said to have also screened and confirmed members of the chairman and other members of the Assembly Service Commission in the spirit of the new law. (The Nation)
