The Ad-Hoc Committee of the House of Representatives on Rivers State, on Thursday, rescheduled its interactive session with the Administrator of the state, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd.).
This was disclosed in a statement issued by Reps spokesman, Akin Rotimi, on Thursday.
According to the statement, the meeting earlier scheduled for Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 4:00 PM, has been postponed.
It added that the change in time followed a formal request from Ibas.
However, the Reps Committee is yet to fix a new date for the meeting, insisting that the public will be notified of the rescheduled date as soon as it is fixed.
“The Ad-Hoc Committee on Rivers State Oversight has received a formal request from the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd.), to reschedule the interactive session initially set for today, April 17, 2025, at 4:00 PM.
“The Committee has acknowledged the request and is in the process of coordinating a new date for the session, and will, in the spirit of transparent and effective oversight, promptly inform the public once the rescheduled date is confirmed,”; the statement read.
Recall that the Ad-Hoc Committee on Rivers State oversight, had invited Ibas to appear before it on Thursday for an interactive session.
President Bola Tinubu had a few weeks ago declared a state of emergency in Rivers State following the prolonged political crisis in the south-south state.
The president also suspended Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and the members of the state assembly.
Tinubu later nominated Ibas as the administrator of Rivers State.
