| Bukola Saraki Senate President, Nigeria |
News
The Senate has issued a
two-week ultimatum to acting President Yemi Osinbajo to ensure submission of
the budgets of 31 public establishments, including the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to the
National Assembly in line with the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution and
the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
The Senate, following a
motion by the Deputy Leader, Bala Na’Allah on Wednesday, also resolved that the
concerned agencies should stop further spending pending compliance.
Many Senators, including
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu; Solomon Adeola, APC-Lagos; George
Sekibo, PDP-Rivers; James Manager, PDP-Delta; Barnabas Gemade, APC-Benue, took
swipe on the agencies for disregarding the law and spending “trillions”, in
sum, without appropriation.
