BARING any unforeseen development, the complex of the Rivers State House of Assembly, located on Moscow Road in Port Harcourt, will be reopened for legislative business on May 31, 2015. The state Assembly complex was shut down on July 10, 2013, after the crisis rocking the state came to a head with members engaging one another in a free-for-all. As an alternative, 25 lawmakers have been sitting at the old Government House in Port Harcourt, even as armoured personnel carriers were used
to block the entrance into the Assembly complex for over one and half years. But speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, the camp of the state Governor-elect, Chief Nyesom Wike, said everything, including ensuring that the Assembly complex was safe for lawmakers and workers, was being put in place. The Chairman of the Nyesom Wike Inauguration Committee, Chief Austin Opara, who presented to newsmen the inauguration programme of the governor-elect, maintained that the 8th House of Assembly would no more hold plenary sessions in the Government House.
