Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara signs the 2026 Appropriation Bill into law. Multiple outlets report that the bill is signed on Thursday in Port Harcourt and follows a period of delays in the Rivers State House of Assembly’s consideration of the budget.
The reports say the bill is unanimously passed by 26 lawmakers when the Assembly resumes sitting. Daily Post Nigeria specifies the budget amount as N1.84 trillion and describes a brief signing ceremony at the Executive Chambers of the Government House. Vanguard and Information Nigeria similarly note the unanimous legislative approval and the timing around the Assembly’s resumed sitting, without adding additional figures.
Across the accounts, the key common points are the governor’s signature, the budget for 2026, and the Assembly’s unanimous passage, with outlet-to-outlet differences mainly in the stated budget figure and the description of the signing venue and ceremony details.
