The Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers State House of Assembly has again overruled the State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and enacted the Rivers State House of Assembly Service Commission Law.

The House took the decision today after holding an impromptu sitting.

Recall that in January, the House voted to override the decision of the Governor not to approve four bills earlier passed by the Assembly. The governor had withheld his assent stating that such amendments would create confusion and breach constituted laws.

The House relying on Section 100 subsection 5 had said the assent of the governor was not needed for the bills to be passed into law. They include the Rivers State Local Government Law; Rivers State Traditional Rulers’ Law; Rivers State Advertisement and Use of State-owned Property Prohibition (Repeal) Law and Rivers State House of Assembly Fund Management Law.
