Farouq, who appeared before the Senate Committee on Special Duties on Monday to defend the 2023 budget, claimed that the ministry requested some projects for the North East Development Commission and the National Social Safety Net Project in the 2022 budget, which were not released, but was surprised to see an inflated amount in the 2023 budget of the ministry.
Things went south at the budget defence when one of the committee members, Senator Elisha Abbo , asked the minister about the inflated N206bn in the budget. The minister said, “Yes, we made mention of the projects for 2022 that were not released, and part of it was for the NEDC. “The money was not released, and now that we have seen it recurring by almost 10-fold, we are also going to seek clarification from the Ministry of Finance to know why the increase occurred despite the fact that the previous year, the money requested wasn’t released for the projects. So, we will get the details and then send them to you.”

A country where the current central bank governor is a card carring member of the ruling party and a presidential aspirant
APC=CORRUPTION
U go vomit all you have taken
We have been so desensitized by bad leadership that we have all left it to fate. News like this no longer move us. The problem with this realm is that it is the junction right before a total collapse. Wake Up Nigerians and vote leaders who'd prioritize u & ur future.
Please when can we have a stop to all this nonsense? Its highly nauseating.
This is clearly the WORST Senate Nigeria ever had. Approved every kind of borrowing for the APC government. A day of reckoning for their evils will be upon them very shortly.
Una no dae tire?
Padding again? I thought we have grow beyond this as a nation.. What will happen to the culprit ? As usual we will gloss over it..
Assu and FG... Why labour minister don't want to pay ASSU but pays senators who don't even go for sitting and those who went to prison...?
Photo ooooohh,Naija na movie
Do you see yourselves?This is the essence of the uncontrolled borrowing by this APC Govt.Waste the borrowed money on policies that never reflected on the lives of the people. At d end of the day the number of poor Nigerians will move from 133M to 150M Nigerians by May 2023. Shame
Padding of 206 Billion. The wickedness is just out of this world.
What did you expect, when you elected an old man to lead a nation of over 200m people.Who here honestly believe Buhari read contract document before he sign them. And now compare Tinubu or Atiku physic to Buhari's, Buhari still look healthier than both of them. So Vote wisely
The woman is cashing out big.
I can’t wait for these set of looters and scum of the earth leave power. All they know is rig elections and steal money. No real impact
Awon eleribu,in this government even the supposed kind hearted being (women),are heartless the men in government had taught them a better ways of stealing,they now steal more than the men self,that's a party of integrity 😂 awon eleribu
Then where is the money for the budget
ZOO
This is just said, nothing will be done to him. It can only happened here in Nigeria. Serious offense and no consequence.
Corrupt government officials passing the blame on each other..these two ministers are the worst in Nigeria history.the finance minister dont even know her left from right not talk of the Dullard humanitarian disaster minister.
“D money was not released in last year budget but increase 10-fold in new budget. Y d increase occurred despite d fact that d previous year, d money requested wasn’t released for d projects.” said Hajia cash in hand accusing Fin. Min Ahmed of impropriety & padding. Crime Inc.
AUTHORITY STEALING.ALLI and the FORTY THI*VES. See what they have turned the country into. In a sane clime, should the minister of finance still has her job? But since no one is in charge, ANYTHING GOES. I weep for the country.
No one takes responsibility in this APC government, they keep shifting blames. I pity those who want to vote for APC again. Haba.
