The Rivers State House of Assembly has formed a seven-member ad hoc committee to investigate funds allocated by the state government to the PAMO University of Medical Sciences in Port Harcourt, since its establishment in 2017. The committee, headed by Deputy Speaker Dumle Maol, was appointed by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, following Section 128 of the 1999 Constitution.
The committee's mandate includes determining the amount of money provided by the state to the university, checking if the funds were utilized appropriately, and identifying beneficiaries of the university's scholarship scheme, if any. The committee's report is expected to be submitted to the House by September 30, 2026. This investigation follows the Assembly's decision to reject the N6bn allocated to the university in the state's 2026 budget.
The PAMO University of Medical Sciences was founded by former Rivers State Governor Peter Odili, who serves as the institution's Pro-Chancellor.
