What happened
The Rivers State House of Assembly ordered the arrest of the Vice-Chancellor of PAMO University of Medical Sciences over scholarship funds disbursed by the state government, which ran into several billion naira. The Assembly also urged the Rivers State Government to establish a committee to recover all unaccounted funds held by PAMO University. This action followed the Assembly deliberating on the report of its Ad Hoc Committee investigating the fund disbursement.

Why it matters
PAMO University of Medical Sciences receives operational funding directly from the Rivers State budget. The legislative action challenges the management and accountability of state funds allocated to the institution. The Assembly's demand for fund recovery impacts the university's financial standing and operational capacity.
Peter Odili founded PAMO University of Medical Sciences in Rivers State, Nigeria.
