Rivers Assembly Complex To Re-open June 1

The Rivers State House of Assembly Complex in Port Harcourt which has been under lock and key since July 10, 2013 after the free-for-all fight involving lawmakers, is expected to be re-opened for legislative business on Monday, June 1, 2015 when the Governor-elect of the state, Chief Nyesom Wike will proclaim the eighth assembly.

Since the closure, 25 lawmakers loyal to Governor Chibuike Amaechi have been holding plenary at Government House in Port Harcourt.

According to a programme of events for Wike’s inauguration, an inauguration Church Service will hold on Sunday, May 26 at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Garrison, Port Harcourt.

A public lecture on good governance will follow on Tuesday at Aztech Arcum, Stadium Road, Port Harcourt, while Wednesday will feature a novelty football match at Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt and a variety night at Polo Club, G.R.A Phase II, Port Harcourt in the evening.  

         

Wike and the deputy governor will be sworn in at  the Liberation Stadium, Elekahia, Port Harcourt at 8.30am on May 29. That will make Wike the fourth governor of the state to be inaugurated at the Liberation Stadium, after Dr Peter Odili, Sir Celestine Omehia and Chibuike Amaechi. 

A post inauguration thanksgiving service will hold on Sunday at Salvation Ministries, G.R.A Phase II, Port Harcourt.
