Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara arrives at the State House of Assembly to present the 2026 Appropriation Bill for lawmakers’ consideration. Multiple reports say the presentation follows the Assembly’s approval of the 2026–2028 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) about two weeks earlier, clearing the way for the main budget proposal. One outlet reports the MTEF figure as about one trillion naira. Reports also state the 2026 budget proposal is in the range of around N1.84 trillion to N1.85 trillion, described as a “Budget of Resilience for Growth and Development” with a reported 24.49% increase over the 2025 fiscal year estimate. Another report adds that the governor is expected to present the bill on July 10, 2026, at the Assembly Quarters Auditorium, which has served as the lawmakers’ temporary venue after damage to the original legislative complex during the state’s political crisis nearly three years ago. Coverage links the delay in presenting the appropriation bill to the earlier governor–Assembly rift, while noting recent reconciliation efforts and preparations by the Government House ahead of the session.
