Rivers Assembly summons PAMO varsity VC over scholarship funds

The Rivers State House of Assembly has summoned the Vice-Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Sciences to explain scholarship funds released by the state government. This follows the House's rejection of a proposed N6bn allocation to the university in the state's 2026 budget. The summons, issued pursuant to Sections 128 and 129 of the Nigerian Constitution, comes after a preliminary report by an ad hoc committee investigating the funds.

The committee informed the House that letters of invitation have been sent to the university's Vice-Chancellor, the Ministry of Education, and other officials. The House aims to establish if the funds were utilized as intended.
