SENATE QUESTIONS FINANCE MINISTER ON SUBSIDY SAVINGS AND DEBT SERVICING.(PHOTO).

-


 

The Senate on Thursday took on the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, over how much the Federal Government has saved and spent since the removal of fuel subsidy in June 2023.


Edun, who appeared before the Senate for the defence of the 2025 budget, was also taken to task on how much the Federal Government is spending on debt servicing.


In a dramatic move, however, the minister, who appeared to be unprepared for these questions, hurriedly requested a closed-door session with the lawmakers to provide answers.


Edun’s trouble began when questions were asked by some members of the appropriation committee on the state of implementation of the 2024 budget, especially the capital component.


While struggling for answers, Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP, Bauchi Central) urged Edun to explain how proceeds from fuel subsidy removal were spent in the 2024 fiscal year.


Ningi asked, “What is the budget performance achieved so far for the 2024 fiscal year, particularly in terms of capital expenditure?


“We haven’t heard from the minister how much has been saved from the removal of fuel subsidy and how much has been expended.


“We also haven’t heard from the ministers about debt servicing. How much have we actually used to service our debt in 2004?


“How much are we expecting to service debts in 2005? Finally, will the Minister of Finance guarantee that the extension of the capital component of the 2024 budget to June 30, 2025, will give the desired results in terms of implementation that has a very low percentage now?”


In what appeared a lack of readiness for the questions, Edun said, “Are we in a closed door session? If we are not in a closed door session, I will humbly seek for that, for detailed explanations on the questions asked,” he said.


The Committee Chairman, Senator Solomon Olamilekan ( APC Ogun West ), thereafter, asked accredited journalists covering the Senate to excuse them for the closed-door session.


Also grilled by the lawmakers on Thursday were the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning counterpart, Atiku Bagudu and the Director General of the National Orientation Agency, Lanre Issa-Onilu,.


Both also had a tough time defending their respective 2025 budget proposals.


Also placed on a hot seat was the Managing Director, News Agency of Nigeria, Mr Ali Mohammed.


While Edun and Bagudu were grilled by the Senate Committee on Appropriation, the heads of NOA and NAN had a tough afternoon with the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
