The Rivers State House of Assembly sets up an ad-hoc committee to investigate how the state government funds PAMO University of Medical Sciences (PUMS). The probe focuses on the funding of the university, following a decision by the House to examine related financial arrangements.
The Daily Post Nigeria reports that the committee is constituted under the authority of the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, citing Section 128 of the 1999 Constitution as amended. It says the inquiry covers funds released by the state government to PUMS since the university’s establishment in 2017. Vanguard similarly reports that the Assembly is probing the university’s funding, but provides fewer procedural details.
Across both outlets, the core point is that the Assembly has moved to review PUMS funding, with the ad-hoc committee serving as the mechanism for the investigation. The reports differ mainly in the amount of detail about the constitutional basis and the specific timeframe of funds to be examined.
