Senator representing Kano-South, Sulaiman AbdulRahman Kawu Sumaila, has pointed out errors in the 2024 budget, alleging padding.
Sumaila, who spoke in an interview with an online television station in Kano, said the Appropriation Bill recently assented to by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had a lot of mistakes, the sort he had never seen in a Budget before.
This years Budget is the most mistake-ridden budget I have ever seen. It is clear that the Government is not taking the necessary steps to address our economic challenges, he stated.
A former Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Senator Sumaila, also spoke on the insecurity in the country, urging the Government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to protect the lives and property of Nigerian citizens.
The senator, a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), expressed his deep frustration and disappointment in the way the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration is handling the countrys security challenges.
He questioned the security agencies ability to effectively address the security issues plaguing the country, challenging them to do more.
