Budget: N16bn Padded In Fashola’s Ministry – Senators by agwom(m): 4:46am On Dec 19, 2017 |
Senators yesterday said they discovered N16billion ‘frivolous’ items in the power wing of the ministry of Power, Works and Housing under the supervision of Babatunde Raji Fashola. This was revealed when the Minister of State for Power, Mustapha Baba Shehuri appeared before the Senate Committee on Power. Senator Adamu Aliero (APC, Kebbi) drew the attention of his colleagues to the items saying, two budget items amounting to N16bn appeared in both the power ministry and Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). An analysis of the main budget of the power ministry showed that N4bn was allocated for Kashimbilla transmission on page 47 and N12bn for counterpart funding for transmission lines and substation projects on page 48. He said “The N4bn and 12bn appeared on TCN budget when they came to defend their budget. Why are you presenting the same now? The figure is misleading.” Responding, the minister said it was the same budget but Abaribe interjected saying, “No minister, the figures are separate. We have the budget of TCN.” Vice Chairman of the committee, Bukar Mustapha (APC, Katsina) said: “What Aliero mentioned is truly worrisome. Kashimbilla budget has nothing do to with the ministry. There are many, this has been the problem of the power sector...” The Senators also raised issues on budgetary provisions for the purchase of vehicles that appeared in three places amounting to N768million. Not satisfied by the minister’s response, Abaribe adjourned sitting and said a comprehensive list of the issues raised would be sent to the ministry ahead of a new date. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/budget-n16bn-padded-in-fashola-s-ministry--senators.html 2 Likes

ZombiePUNISHER: Sir, I will not be a party to a system that is not working or fails to do the right thing.... No one has compelled Fashola to remain in a failed government. He is still there on his own accord despite the abysmal performance of this govt. Remember that, collectively, Fashola and others in APC has contributed to the overall poor performance.... 9 Likes 1 Share |

Fashola is a thief, so many of them are hiding behind the dull old man looting our money every day. If you ask Amaechi how far he will tell you about integrity that buhari has. Stupidd we're not talking about the old fooll, we're talking about you!! 13 Likes 2 Shares |

This is rubbish! Is TCN not under the Ministry of Power anymore? Won't the Ministry prepare budgets for department under them? Does TCN have their own Minister or what? "Kashimbilla budget has nothing do to with the ministry." Just imagine, so a transmission line project also has nothing to with the the Ministry of Power? People will leave their legislative duties to be playing politics 5 Likes 1 Share |
