President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has transmitted the 2025 budget proposal for Rivers State to the National Assembly, seeking approval for a total of N1.481 trillion.

The president’s request was formally presented during Thursday’s plenary session by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas.

Rivers State is currently under the administration of a sole administrator, Ibok-Ete Ibas, appointed after the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara by President Bola Tinubu in March.

The suspension followed the escalation of Fubara’s political dispute with his predecessor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
