N10BN Fraud Discovered In Buhari's Budget Was A Typo Error - Senator Garba

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Higher Education, Senator Binta Masi Garba, has said that the N10 billion padding discovered in the education budget was a typographical error from the office of the National Planning and Budget.
 

She said it was meant for the Universal basic Education Commission.

According to her, the issue was not with the ministry of education.

She added that it had been resolved by the House and the Senate and would be amended in the budget.

The senator stated this yesterday in Abuja after the commissioning of Federal University, Lafia’s connection to Nigerian Research and Education Network (NgREN) at inter-conference programme of the National Universities Commission (NUC).

It would be recalled that the Senate Committee on Education last week at the 2016 budget defence noted that it uncovered about N10 Billion hidden in the budget of parastatals by the Federal Ministry of Education.

The senator, however, said since the committee came on board, they had seen a lot of acts that needed to be amended to enable free flow on the quality of education in the country.

She said: “For us to find ourselves out of where we are in Nigeria, education is the bedrock of development and if education is not given the rightful footing in budgeting, then definitely we will have a problem.”

Had it been it was PDP lie Mohammed would have gotten more lies to say but since it is saints APC the party without thieves it's a typo error. This party is really a party Nigeria will forever live to never understand anything about them because the only change I see is people suffering and sacking of workers.
