The budget defence that lasted for five hours on Monday turned sour when the Minister could not explain the National Assembly’s approval of the N1.7 billion distributed to exporters through his office, which was in his 2018 budget performance.
“I don’t think it is right for you to distribute cash to exporters without approval”, the lawmaker insisted. Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, a member of the Committee accused the executive of aiding the Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment in perpetuating illegality by approving promissory notes to access funds from the treasury.
That's normal in this APC govt. Buhari took $1bn, Osibanjo took 518bn all without NASS approval. With the 9th senate, they will do worse because NASS will turn into a branch of the executive.
