Nigerian House of Representatives Orders Immediate Payment to Local Contractors Amid Disruptions
The Nigerian House of Representatives has directed the federal government to promptly pay outstanding debts owed to local contractors to ensure the full implementation of the 2025 budget resolution. The move came after disruptions by indigenous contractors at the National Assembly complex, accusing the government of failing to honor payment commitments.
The House mandated the Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning to settle verified debts within seven days to prevent further disruptions. Lawmakers expressed concerns over the economic impact of delayed payments on local contractors and urged compliance with the presidential directive.
