Rivers State Governor Dissolves Pensions Board in Restructuring Move

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State dissolved the Pensions Board upon his return to office after the expiration of the emergency rule. This decision marks Fubara's first major action, aiming to restructure the pension administration in the state.

The dissolved board members were directed to hand over all assets to the Office of the Accountant General, with plans to constitute a new board to oversee pension matters. Fubara's move follows the reinstatement of civilian rule in the state, signaling a shift in governance and administrative processes post-emergency rule.
