The Senate Committee on Finance on Monday issued a stern warning to Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) that fail to appear before it: zero allocation in the 2025 budget.
This warning comes as the committee conducts an investigative hearing into revenue generation, remittance, and expenditure by MDAs within the 2024 fiscal year.
According to Sani Musa, Senator representing Niger North and Chair of the panel, the 2025 budget will be heavily influenced by the MDAs’ fiscal performance in 2024. “Any agency that fails to appear before this committee upon invitation risks zero allocation in the 2025 budget,” he said. “This is because the records of how appropriations made for 2024 were expended must be provided with facts and figures.”
