Court Rejects Rivers State Government Bid to Block Fund Allocation Suit
A Federal High Court rejects request by Rivers State Government to stay proceedings in a suit seeking to stop allocation of funds to all the Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Rivers State
In a ruling on Friday, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik held that the application for stay made by lawyer to the Government of Rivers State, Gordy Uche (SAN) was frivolous, vexatious, unwarranted and mischievous.
Lawmakers loyal to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, are seeking among others, to compel the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to withhold financial allocation to LGAS in Rivers State.
