Ningi insists N3.7trn not traced to any project, only N25trn traced to projects in 2024 budget

Senator Abdul Ningi on Monday insisted in the Senate on his earlier allegation of budget padding in the 2024 appropriation act.

The Senator had declared: “I am not afraid of suspension by the Senate. I stand by what I said: N3.7 trillion not traced to any project in the 2024 Budget “I spoke for myself and not on behalf of the Northern Senator Forum.

“I never said the federal government is operating with two budgets.

“I only said N25 trillion was traced to projects and N3.7 trillion was not traced to any project.”
