Senator Jibrin Isah has to stay up late into the night at the Senate building, to work jointly with Senate Committee on Finance and National Planning on all Revenue generating Agencies who are still taking Federal budget causing deficits in Revenue turnover that should have been sufficient other ventures like Infrastructures, Social amenities, etc.
We hear over-bloated figures to the tone of trillion daily from these Agencies, only semicircular or meager is remitted to CBN. Joint Senate Committee on Finance and National Planning have been working on this.
First to remove those Agencies from Federal allocations secondly, to ensure their Presentation tallied with the figures forwarded to them for consideration and approval of their various budget, Expenditures, and their fiscal projections for 2021-2023.
It has become conventional in our national system of late that whenever a DG or any head of Government Agencies is billed to appear before any probe panels, they either developed sudden ailment that will take them abroad, faints in the process of the probe or send their Subordinate on account of indisposed. Because they can’t be accountable for their financial dealings. This and many more are what Sen Isah Jibrin Echocho is jointly working with others to correct the abnormally. It’s more than District representation, this is National assignment.
