Rivers Assembly Investigates PAMO University Funding
The Rivers State House of Assembly has established a seven-member ad hoc committee to investigate the financial disbursements made by the Rivers State government to PAMO University of Medical Sciences in Port Harcourt since the institution's inception in 2017. The committee, chaired by Deputy Speaker Dumle Maol and constituted by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, aims to determine the total funds allocated to the university, assess whether these funds were utilized appropriately, and identify beneficiaries of the university's scholarship scheme.
The committee is expected to submit its findings to the House by September 30, 2026. This investigation follows the Assembly's decision to reject a proposed allocation of N6 billion for the university in the 2026 budget.
PAMO University of Medical Sciences was founded by former Rivers State Governor Peter Odili, who serves as the institution's Pro-Chancellor.
