President Bola Tinubu on Thursday sent a budget proposal of N1.48 trillion of Rivers State Government to the National Assembly for consideration and passage.
According to the President said that ₦324bn of the amount will be expended on infrastructure, ₦166bn on health, ₦75.6bn on education and ₦31.4bn on agriculture.
He said by the provisions of the budget, agriculture is expected to generate about 6,000 jobs and appealed to the parliament to urgently pass the budget for the good of the state and its people.
Tinubu added that the budget proposal became necessary because of the nullification of the 2025 budget of the state by the Supreme Court and because the state is currently under emergency rule.
