As the squabble between the Executive and
Legislative arm over the power of
appropriation rages, the House of
Representatives yesterday said it unearthed a
“bogus insertion” of N90 billion in the 2017
budgetary proposal presented by President
Muhammadu Buhari last December.

Its spokesperson, Abdulrazak Namdas, told
reporters yesterday in Abuja the questionable
sum was discovered in the estimates of the
Ministry of Works, Power and Housing.
He further clarified the cut in the allocations
for both the Second Niger Bridge and the
Lagos-Ibadan expressway in the appropriation
bill which is at the heart of the altercation
between the minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola
and the National Assembly.

Faulting the minister, who accused the
lawmakers of altering the budget to satisfy
their selfish goals, he maintained that Sections
4, 59, 80, and 81 of the 1999 Constitution (as
amended) vested in the National Assembly the
power to appropriate in line with the wishes of
Nigerians.

Namdas, who is also a member of the House
Committee on Works, claimed that Fashola’s
grudge may not be unconnected with the
decision to turn down two of his ministry’s
“bogus budgetary provisions under the guise
of miscellaneous expenses and environmental
impact assessment (EIA).”

He went on: “When I told the minister that
they budgeted N17 billion for environment
impact assessment (EIA) in the Mambilla, we
felt it was unjustified. We felt it was bogus and
uncalled for. He did not fault what I said.
What he said was that it was a misdirection and
we should have called his attention.”

Bros 90billion is not ordinary paper that someone would just steal without anyone noticing.. Fashola explained in his last media chat that EIA of 17billion as Nigeria's counterpart funding for Mambilla power plant.. 20billion is for contingency against unforseen emergencies.
How much is the whole budget that 90billion would b Bogus..
