Rivers State: House of Reps Committee Says Democracy Will Soon Be Restored

The House of Representatives Adhoc Committee on the Oversight of the Administrator of Rivers State, Ibok-Eket Ibas, has pledged its support for the restoration of democratic governance in the state.

Speaking during a courtesy visit on Administrator Ibok-Eket Ibas, in Government House, Port House, the Leader Chairman of the committee, Professor Julius, said the National Assembly was encouraged by the sole administrator’s achievements so far and remained committed to ensuring the return of democratic rule.

“We are hopeful about what the Administrator has done so far. The House of Representatives is committed to seeing a smooth transition back to full democratic governance in Rivers State,” Ihonvbere said.

The lawmakers inspected the Rivers State House of Assembly complex, where reconstruction works are ongoing to prepare the legislature for effective operations once the state returns to civilian leadership. Ihonvbere noted that the quality and scope of the work showed readiness for a functional assembly in the post-emergency period.

Receiving the delegation, Ibas expressed appreciation for the National Assembly’s support and oversight role, which he said had bolstered his administration’s work. He stressed that restoring security had been a top priority and a significant success.

The House Committee was on an inspection tour as part of its oversight mandate.
