Legal Victory for Rivers State: Appeal Court Allows Fund Release
The Court of Appeal in Abuja has overturned an earlier order that restrained the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Accountant General of the Federation from releasing funds to the Rivers State Government.
The earlier ruling was related to a dispute over the legitimacy of the state’s 2024 appropriation bill.
The appellate court’s decision allows the state to access its allocations, addressing financial concerns raised during the legal battle.
