Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers State, has submitted the 2026–2028 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) to the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Martin Amaewhule, speaker of the House, announced receipt of the document during an emergency plenary session held Thursday.
The Assembly resumed sitting Thursday after more than three-month recess that followed attempts to impeach Governor Fubara.
The House deferred the debate on the MTEF to the next legislative day for proper and detailed scrutiny.

The Assembly also received a petition from the Ngo-Oyorokoto Communities Stakeholders, presented by Ofiks Kagbang, member for Andoni Constituency, which asked the House, among other things, to order a full legislative investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stoppage of work on the Ngo-Oyorokoto Atlantic Road Project.
Governor Fubara’s submission of the MTEF to the Assembly marks a significant engagement between the executive and legislative arms of government.
The Assembly last met in February 2026, when it screened and confirmed Fubara’s commissioner-nominees before adjourning indefinitely.
The medium-term expenditure framework is a key step in the state’s budget planning process, providing the fiscal projections and policy direction that will guide the preparation of future budgets.
