President Bola Tinubu has transmitted the 2025 budget proposal of Rivers State, totaling N1.48 trillion, to the House of Representatives for consideration and approval.
In a letter read on the floor of the Green Chamber during Thursday’s plenary by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, the President requested the lawmakers to exercise their constitutional mandate by deliberating on and passing the appropriation bill.
Tinubu explained that the move is in accordance with the National Assembly’s legislative powers over a state under emergency rule and with a suspended House of Assembly.
According to the proposal, N324 billion is earmarked for new and ongoing infrastructure projects, while N166 billion is allocated for healthcare interventions across the state.
