The Rivers State House of Assembly is sitting today, September 18, 2025. This follows the end of a six-month state of emergency declared on March 18, 2025, which suspended legislative activities due to a political crisis. President Bola Tinubu lifted the emergency at midnight on September 17, directing the assembly, led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule, to resume from 10 a.m. at the Assembly Residential Complex on the Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway. Reports confirm the plenary session began, with lawmakers discussing state finances during the emergency and plans to request commissioner nominees from Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
