The Rivers State House of Assembly is set to reconvene on Thursday under the leadership of Speaker Martins Amaewhule, following the lifting of emergency rule by President Bola Tinubu.
The lawmakers will meet at the Conference Hall in the Assembly Quarters, Port Harcourt, which has served as their temporary chamber since suspected arsonists attacked and destroyed their official complex on Moscow Road.
