The Senate on Tuesday directed the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Hajia Zainab Ahmed, to liaise with the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria , Mr. Godwin Emefiele, and submit details of President Muhammadu Buhari’s N23.7trn Ways and Means request, within three days, for scrutiny.

However, at the resumption of plenary after the New Year recess on Tuesday, Gobir informed his colleagues that the ad hoc panel had not been able to sit because details of the Ways and Means Advances had not been provided by the executive arm of government. “For required details on the N22.7 trillion Ways and Means Restructuring, six vital questions were raised, five for the CBN governor and one for the Finance Minister, but their trips abroad, prevented us from asking them the questions.

Lawan said: “We must have necessary information for passage of the N22.7 trillion request and time is not on our side in the Senate now in view of coming general elections.
