Rivers Allegation: Court Reverses Judgment, Allows Funds Allocation to State.

A Nigerian Court of Appeal has overturned a previous ruling blocking funding allocation to Rivers State, allowing the Central Bank of Nigeria and other agencies to release funds as planned. The decision reverses a judgment that had halted state budget releases.

The Court of Appeal Abuja division has overturned a ruling that had prevented the release of funds allocated to Rivers State by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Accountant General of the Federation. The appeal court's decision reverses a judgment that had previously halted the allocation, allowing the state to receive its share of federal funding. This development marks a significant victory for Fubara, whose administration was blocked from accessing the funds due to the initial court order. With the reversal, Rivers State is now set to receive its allocated funds as planned.
