Nigeria’s House of Representatives has summoned the Minister of Hummanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Umar Farouk to appear before its Committee on Appropriation for the ongoing budget defence or it will be forced to take drastic action against her.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Muktar Betera noted that the Minister has consistently failed to appear at the House of Representatives to defend her Ministry’s budget.

The Committee has repeatedly invited the minister for budget defence exercise, but she has failed to honour any of the invitations.

On Friday, the Committee refused to entertain the permanent Secretary; insisting on hearing only the Minister.

Chairman House Committee on Appropriation, Hon Muktar Betar said he would never approve the Permanent Secretary to defend the budget.

Betara insisted that Sadiya Farouq must be at the Committee in person to defend her ministry’s budget.

The Minister had overseen huge spendings of national funds on paliative in the 2020 and 2021 budgets, and the Committee would want her to account for them.
