Rivers Assembly summons PAMO varsity VC, others over scholarship funds

The Rivers State House of Assembly has summoned the Vice-Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Services in Port Harcourt, along with several other officials, to explain the use of scholarship funds provided by the state government. This action follows the House's rejection of a proposed N6 billion allocation for the university in the state's 2026 budget.

The summons, in line with sections 128 and 129 of the Nigerian Constitution, will take place on September 16, and the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, warned those invited to honor the summons. The House aims to determine if the previously allocated funds were used for their intended purposes.
