The Rivers State House of Assembly has established an Ad-Hoc Committee to investigate government funding provided to PAMO University of Medical Sciences since its inception in 2017. The committee was formed by the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, in accordance with Section 128 of the 1999 Constitution, amended. According to a statement by Enemi Alabo George, Chairman of the House Committee on Information, the committee's role is to ascertain the amount of money allocated by the state government to the university, assess if the funds were utilized correctly, and identify the beneficiaries of the university's scholarship scheme, among other matters.
The seven-member committee, chaired by Dumle Maol, includes Silvanus Nwankwo, Lemchi Nyeche, Henrietta Loolo, Peter Abbey, Napoleon Ukalikpe, and Emilia Amadi. This inquiry follows the House's decision not to endorse the six billion naira allocated for PAMO University in the state's 2026 budget.
