The Rivers State House of Assembly has said it will probe the expenditure during the six months emergency rule of Ibok-Ete Ibas as the sole administrator.
Lawmakers resumed sitting on Thursday morning after the suspension of emergency rule in the state.
The assembly asked Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state, to transmit the 2025 appropriation bill to the legislature for consideration.
Lawmakers also urged the governor to forward the list of commissioner-nominees to the house for screening and confirmation.
President Bola Tinubu lifted the emergency rule on September 17, with all democratic structures in the state restored.
Martins Amaewhule, speaker of the house, presided over the plenary at the conference hall nestled within the legislative quarters.
The assembly is still under construction following its demolition months ago by the state government.
On March 18, Tinubu declared emergency rule in the state following a protracted political crisis arising from the rift between Fubara and Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).
Subsequently, Fubara, Ngozi Nma Odu, his deputy; and the legislators, were suspended for a period of six months by the president.
Tinubu appointed Ibas as sole administrator of the state for the period.
