Why Gov Fubara Relocated Rivers Assembly Sitting To Govt House

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, has relocated the House of Assembly to the Auditorium, Admin Block of the Government House, Port Harcourt 

The announcement of this action was dated December 14th, 2023, after the state house of assembly was set ablaze on October 29th, 2023.

The governor cited the burning of the Hallowed Chamber of the House of Assembly as the reason for the relocation.

Fubara said it is reasonable to ensure that the house of assembly proceedings were not impeded and frustrated by the urgent repairs, renovation and reconstruction of the burnt assembly. 

As reported by Daily Trust, Fubara said: “Now, therefore, I, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, the Governor of Rivers State, this 30th Day of October, 2023, pursuant to the powers vested in me under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria hereby issue, order and direct that all proceedings and business of the Rivers State House of Assembly shall temporarily take place at the auditorium, Admin Block, Government House, Port Harcourt, until the repairs, renovation and reconstruction of the chambers of Rivers State House of Assembly”.
