The Rivers State Government has announced the commencement of a 10-day project commissioning exercise.
This comes a day after the Supreme Court halted the release of federal allocations to the state by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and nullified the recent local government elections.
Despite the rising political tension following the court’s decision, the administration of Governor Siminalayi Fubara reaffirmed its commitment to development.
