Northern senators disown Ningi over controversial claim on 2024 budget

Ningi had in a recent interview claimed that the executive is implementing a budget that the National Assembly did not approve.

The lawmaker representing Bauchi Central (PDP) said the National Assembly debated and passed a ₦25tn budget, not the ₦28.7tn that is currently being implemented.

Dismissing Ningi’s claim as false, the presidency on Sunday, March 10, 2024, said the alleged ₦25tn budget was never presented to the Senate.
