Faleye said, “The training will help the state to improve on its budget allocation to the ministry as well hasten the releases that will help in primary health care and other related health sectors.”

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning in the state, Hajia Aisha Usman, acknowledged that the state had not had it so good before the training, which she described as an ‘eye-opener’.

She added, “The three-day workshops on budget profiling and cash management procedures were very impactful as they gave the state the idea of expenditure for each month and this would enable the state to plan correctly before making such expenditure.”

Sources close to the embattled Governor say he is consulting his political allies on the next to honourably resign or fight till end.

Another source said that Sim told his confidants that he would rather resign than appear before the Amaewhule led Assembly nor wait to be impeached.

The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) has called Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, to resign from office within 48 hours or be impeached by the State House of Assembly.

Chairman of APC in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, made the call on Monday morning while briefing journalists at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He said: “As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options, resign honourably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress. He has disrespected Mr. President and we told him that we cannot be here and have him to disrespect Mr. President.

“The offences are there; the Supreme Court has agreed and even provided us with more evidences. The House of Assembly does not need to set up any committee again to investigate him.

“48 hours is too much to give him as ultimatum. He should just resign honourably.”
