Rivers State Cancels N134bn Contract, Directs Refund and Approves Test Centers

Rivers State's Executive Council has canceled a N134 billion contract awarded by the Sole Administrator for the reconstruction of the state secretariat complex, citing lack of due process. The council has directed the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) to refund the mobilization fees already disbursed.

Additionally, a committee has been approved to identify suitable locations for computer-based test centers to support external examinations. The state also mandates urgent flood control measures and appoints Prof. Odu to head the flood control committee.

Dr. Michael Odei, the chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, announced election results across 20 LGAs.
