Reps committee considers new date as Rivers’ sole administrator seeks postponement of oversight meeting
The House of Representatives ad-hoc committee on Rivers State oversight has postponed its interactive session earlier scheduled for Thursday with the sole administrator of the state, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd).
The committee earlier invited Mr Ibas for a comprehensive engagement on his activities in Rivers State after the declaration of emergency rule by President Bola Tinubu.
The indefinite postponement of the meeting is contained in a statement by the House spokesperson, Akin Rotimi, in Abuja on Thursday.
Mr Rotimi said that the committee acknowledged the request for postponement made by the sole administrator and was currently working to fix a new date for the interactive session.
He said, “In the spirit of transparent and effective oversight, the committee will promptly inform the public once the rescheduled date is confirmed.’’
The house on Tuesday constituted a 21-member ad hoc committee headed by Julius Ihonvbere to oversee the emergency rule in Rivers State.
