The House of Representatives has said it will not allow the nation’s resources to be unfairly distributed to the detriment of any section of the country.
According to the lawmakers, the National Assembly was forced to tinker with the 2017 bAudget document because the proposal presented by the President Muhammadu Buhari for the Ministry of Works, Power and Housing failed integrity test as it was skewed to favour a section of the country.
House Spokesman Abdulrazaq Namdas, in a statement yesterday, said it was time for the Minister, Babatunde Fashola, to be reminded that it was the duty of the National Assembly to ensure fairness in the distribution of the nation’s patrimony.
He said: “We need to remind Mr. Fashola that the National Assembly is a national institution made up of members from all geo-political zones. They represent all tendencies, interests and ethnic nationalities. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

When we talk about road, power and housing, it's the poor masses that are on the receiving end. These rogues are less concerned. Or how else can one describe the madness of the federal legislators that see the Lagos/Ibadan express way as a south west project.
ReplyDeleteNational Assembly members should stop putting up lame excuses on the much maligned budget they effortlessly padded.
ReplyDeleteIt is only in a typical country like Nigeria will that den of armed robbers called National Assembly will continue to be existing.
So for equitable distribution of project, you put boreholes and construction of primary schools in the budget? Shame on you. I pray God to punish you and your generation you imbeciles.
You are the clog in the wheel of Nigeria's progress.
One day, nemesis will
We need to rubbish these naive and senseless people in the National Assembly. They don't have shame at all, you decrease what was allocated to benefit the masses and infrastructure of all nation, and you increased what is meant for yourselves in NASS... Did this idiot want to tell me that if the Ibadan express road is fixed he won't ply the road? Or his stupid and ingrate family and members won't have anything to do on the road... Amen if that is his wish.... But it's high time we need to rubbish the fools takn us for granted. Allah
ReplyDeleteDummy lawmaker! No matter the situation, you and your committee members have no right to tinker with the budget proposal. All you can do is to call the attention of the minister to the lopsidedness of the budget. Tinkering with the budget is a criminal offense. Lawmakers without understanding of the law they're making.
