OpenNASS: Senate sets new deadline to publish NASS budget breakdown

The Senate on Monday in Abuja, set a new deadline for publishing the breakdown of its N115 billion budget for 2016.

The Spokes Person of the Senate Sen. Sabi Abdullahi, disclosed to news men that the breakdown of the National Assembly budget would be contained in the 2016 Budget details that would be released.

He said the 8^th National Assembly was determined to carry Nigerians along on its activities.
He, however, said that he was not aware of any promises made by the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, on a specific date for the publication of the budget breakdown.

``I am not aware of any promise made by the President of the Senate.

``What I know is that the National Assembly Budget Breakdown will be contained in the details of the Budget when it is released,” he said.

We recall that the 8th Senate has promised on several occasions to operate an OpenNASS and as such would make public the breakdown of its budget.

However, the promise which was made since last year and recently re-affirmed is yet to fulfilled.
