The House of Representatives ad-hoc committee on Rivers oversight has postponed its interactive session earlier scheduled for Thursday with the state’s Sole Administrator Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd).
The committee had earlier invited Ibas for a comprehensive engagement on his activities in Rivers following the declaration of emergency rule in the state by President Bola Tinubu.
The House spokesman, Akin Ajayi, announced the postponement in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
