BREAKING: Tinubu Submits N1.48 Trillion Rivers 2025 Budget to National Assembly
President Bola Tinubu has submitted a N1.48 trillion budget proposal for Rivers State for the 2025 fiscal year to the National Assembly for approval.
According to Newsone Nigeria, the proposal was sent on Thursday, May 22, 2025. Tinubu explained that the move became necessary following the Supreme Court's nullification of Rivers State’s 2025 budget and the imposition of emergency rule in the state.
Out of the total budget, ₦324 billion is earmarked for infrastructure, ₦166 billion for health, ₦75.6 billion for education, and ₦31.4 billion for agriculture.
The President also noted that the agricultural sector is projected to create around 6,000 jobs. He urged lawmakers to give the proposal swift passage in the interest of the state and its residents.
