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, Port Harcourt, to explain the utilization of scholarship funds released by the state government. The invitation also extends to the Accountant General of Rivers State, the State Commissioner for Education, the Permanent Secretary of the State Ministry of Education, and other officials.

This development comes after the Assembly rejected a proposed N6bn allocation to the university in the state’s 2026 budget. The summons is in line with Sections 128 and 129 of the Nigerian Constitution, and the House expects a response from the invited officials at an ad hoc committee hearing on September 16.
