The Rivers State House of Assembly has issued an arrest warrant for the Vice-Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Sciences, Port Harcourt, over the distribution of scholarship funds exceeding 29 billion naira. The Assembly held this decision after the university's VC refused to cooperate with an Ad Hoc Committee established to investigate the fund's usage since 2017.
The House also urged the state government to establish a committee to recover unaccounted funds and deposit them into the state's Consolidated Revenue Account. The Assembly's decision came after the House extended the deadline for the VC to appear before the committee on September 24, 2026.
