Former federal lawmaker Shehu Sani has warned the Bola
Tinubu administration against spending the N3.2 trillion budgeted for security
and defence on frivolities.
According to the former lawmaker who was active in the 8th
National Assembly, this has been the case with previous budgets, with money
being looted.
Sani, who represented Kaduna Central senatorial district,
was commenting on the N27.5 trillion 2024 budget submitted by President Bola
Tinubu on Wednesday.
The sum of N3.2 trillion was set
out for security and defence in the budget.
“In the past, trillions were budgeted for defence and
security but ended up being looted, and many soldiers complained of lack of
food, weapons, and equipment, and their welfare generally neglected,” Sani
wrote on X.
“The N3.2 trillion budgeted for security in 2024 should be
mindful of this. Defence and security budgets should not be wasted on building
event centres, hotels, and shopping malls while terrorists are killing people
every day in the country,” he warned.
