1. @NGRSenate cutting critical funding for health, education, water and power at a time many Nigerians live in extreme poverty and lack access to these essential public services, is a crime against humanity. @bukolasaraki must show leadership by immediately reversing the decision
2. We recommend that @NGRSenate consider cutting the number of expensive official vehicles, legislative aides, travels and transportation, souvenirs, and photocopiers and the about N15m monthly allowance per senator
@bukolasaraki
3. @NGRSenate should prioritise spending that will truly reflect national development priorities, and not serve as a tool to satisfy the lifestyle of our lawmakers.
4. Cutting critical funding for education, health, water, etc would disproportionately affect the socially and economically vulnerable and push them deeper into poverty and deprivation.
5. It's a bad decision especially in a country where many of our general hospitals cannot provide emergency treatment, and at a time public funds are needed to improve access to these essential public services.
6. Lawmakers “padded” the 2018 budget to the tune of N578bn by inserting 6,403 projects of their own, barely a month after the Fed High Court in a suit by SERAP ordered the prosecution of principal officers of @nassnigeria that allegedly padded 2016 budget to the tune of N481bn
