The Nigerian Senate has set up a 20-member ad-hoc committee to officially take over the functions of the Rivers State House of Assembly amid the ongoing political crisis in the state.
The committee is headed by the Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, with Rufai Hanga as deputy, and includes eighteen other senators.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, during the resumption of plenary.
Akpabio highlighted the importance of the committee’s mandate, stating that its role was critical in ensuring effective legislative oversight in Rivers State.
This move is part of a coordinated legislative response alongside a similar committee established by the House of Representatives to oversee the state’s affairs during the emergency rule declared by President Bola Tinubu in March 2025.
