In a statement issued on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Krishi, the Speaker added that the expenditure of the federal legislature has increased over this period, without corresponding budgetary provisions to support it.
He stated: “Our budget has remained static for 13 years, while our expenditure has continued to rise during this period. In fact, there were instances when the National Assembly budget was reduced from its 2011 levels.” He said: “I am pleased to inform you that the House had already taken steps in line with your concerns several months ago. On July 27, we announced the membership of 43 parliamentary friendship committees to explore ways of enhancing our relations, particularly in business and other aspects, with them.
Earlier, Ajayi highlighted that the recent coup in Niger Republic has changed the dynamics of engagements between some European countries and West Africa.
