The Rivers State House of Assembly has directed the arrest of the Vice Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Science in Port Harcourt due to the university's failure to respond to the Ad Hoc Committee investigating scholarship funds disbursed by the state government. The Assembly requested the state government to establish a committee to recover unaccounted funds and deposit them in the Consolidated Revenue Account.
The House extended the deadline for the Vice Chancellor to appear before the committee on September 24. The Speaker emphasized that no individual can be more important than the institution empowered by the Constitution.
