Nigerian Opposition Lawmakers Criticize 2025 Budget Implementation, Demand Accountability
Opposition lawmakers in Nigeria, led by Hon. Fred Agbedi and Hon. Afam Ogen, have faulted the 2025 budget implementation, citing concerns over unexecuted projects and funds despite approval by the Nation Assembly. They announced an emergency strategy meeting to address fiscal governance issues and legislative oversight performance.
The lawmakers expressed dissatisfaction with the alleged non-release of funds for capital projects and outstanding payment obligations. They intend to demand a comprehensive record of bills passed by the 10th Assembly, emphasizing the need for transparency, especially following recent tax law amendments.
The lawmakers are considering formal demands for accountability, potentially including the removal of the Minister of Finance and the Accountant General of the Federation.
