This online news platform understands that the gazette dated December 14th, 2023, cited the burning of the Hallowed Chamber of the House of Assembly on October 29th, 2023, as the reason for the relocation.

The Rivers Governor noted that the current state of the chamber was unsafe and constituted a threat to the lives of the staff of the members of the House of Assembly.
