The N800bn 2024 budget signed into law by the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has been declared illegal and nullified by the Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday.
Recall that Fubara in December, presented an N800bn 2024 Appropriation Bill to a faction of the state House of Assembly, comprising four lawmakers.
Fubara subsequently signed the budget into law, following the passage of the budget by the lawmakers.
The presiding judge, James Omotosho, held that everything done by the four lawmakers was null and void.
The court also recognised Martin Amaewhule as the speaker of the state assembly.
