Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has submitted the state’s 2026–2028 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) to the Rivers State House of Assembly for consideration.
The governor’s communication was presented during plenary on Thursday, where the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Chike Amaewhule, read the letter before lawmakers.
The MTEF is a key fiscal planning document that outlines the government’s projected revenue, expenditure framework, and economic assumptions for a three-year period, serving as the foundation for the annual budget.
The submission marks a significant step in the state’s budget preparation process and comes amid ongoing efforts by the executive and legislative arms of government to advance governance and development initiatives in Rivers State.
The last Medium-Term Expenditure Framework presented to the Assembly was submitted in 2023 by former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, before the end of his administration. Lawmakers are expected to deliberate on the new framework in the coming weeks.
