The House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation on Friday rejected representatives sent by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Dr. Olayemi Cardoso and Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service, Adewale Adeniyi, to defend the agencies’ 2024 budget proposal.
The lawmakers also sent back the representatives of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) from the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
The Chairman of the committee, Abubakar Bitch, insisted that the heads of the agencies must appear before the lawmakers because they were duly invited for the interactive session on the 2024 budget.
