The Nigerian Senate has suspended the 2025 budget defence for the Office of Auditor General for the Federation
The development may result to zero allocation to the OAGF as the Senate has earlier scheduled Wednesday 22nd January, 2025 as deadline for budget defences to pave way for Committee on Appropriation to harmonise reports from various Committes.
Chairman of Senate Committee on Public Accounts, Senator Ahmed Wadada sent the Auditor General, S.K Chira and his team packing due to ill-preparation and lack of diligent handling of his documents.
Chira appeared before the Commutree unprepared and could not answer questions posed to him concerning the 2024 budget performance his office.
Anger stirred up as a copy of budget documents being read by the Auditor General was different from copies made available to the Committee members.
