The House of Reps Committee on Sports says it will not consider the 2017 budget unless it is given a detailed presentation of how the 2016 budget was spent by the Ministry of Sports.

The House Committee took this position following allegations from different federations in the Sports Ministry regarding the disbursement of funds.
As part of its duties in ensuring the implementation of the 2016 budget, the House committee met with the Minister of Sports and officials of the ministry on Friday.

The meeting also sought to tackle pending issues such as the allegations against the Ministry of Sports regarding the disbursement of funds to the various sports federations in the ministry as some of them are yet to receive allocations as stated in the 2016 budget.

The Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, said that he was not aware of such allegations and that putting up a defence would be injustice to the Sports Ministry.

The Minister also touched on funding for the Rio 2016 Olympics and the challenges faced by the Ministry.

A member of the committee, Danburam Nuhu, observed that the ministry ought not to spend beyond the funds approved by the National Assembly.

As the debate rounded off, the chairman of the committee, Bukar Lawal, said that the Minister would have to face the committee again on another day.

Committees are also expected to complete work on the 2016 budget as soon as possible as the 2017 budget proposal is already before the National Assembly.

Sack Dalung

Our leaders need to be accountable!

I will prefer he should be in prison giving d spending details in stead

Nigeria is not a serious nation. So if allegations weren't made against sport ministry, it wouldn't be asked to give details of 2016 budget spending.
I believe this should be a standard for all ministries whether alleged of corruption or not; let us know how our money is being spent.

Can Reps ask that all ministries give details of their expenditures?


ACCOUNTABILITY SHOULD BE THE WATCH WORD. Let's stop worshipping some people as having integrity, we know you are upright, but just give account of your stewardship.

Dis minister is d craziest joke of diz comic administration, imagine him saying he is not aware of d allegations in d ministry he is heading, wat an incompetent clown...diz man deserve to rot in prison...idiot man.

Dalung is a failure

MMM

ok

Dalung is never aware of anything happening in his ministry

Am still surprised why that clueless idiot hasn't been sacked yet.

Dalung is incompetent, controversial, lack knowledge of sport and if fraudulent, then this guy might just completely destroy sport in this country by 2019

Na everybody wan chop

If we expect that beret wearing prison warder to give a detailed presentation of his ministry's budget, we will wait till thy kingdom cometh!

That man is the weakest link in Buhari's government. I wonder what he is still doing there

The problem is, why wait till now to ask about expenditure? In a normal country, audits are done on government ministries on a regular basis, yearly. This is all for show as far as i am concerned. They should just approve the funds and let the looting continue. Nigeria and by extension, Nigerians, are not serious about stamping out corruption.
