NASS budget ballooned from N23.3 billion to N125 BILLION btw 2003 & 2019.

On a yearly basis, 50% of this money is spent on stationery, computers, cars etc – ALL FOR SALE below.

Surely there's a cartel within NASS mgt. Who'll probe this?

.@TheNationNews:

NASS mgt is disposing off office equipment to outgoing members of @NGRSenate & @HouseNGR at rock bottom prices.

"Payment for the equipment...will be deducted from the severance package of the beneficiaries."

Severance package= N23.678 billion in #2019Budget 🙆‍♂️
.@TheNationNews:

Some non-returning legislators were seen on Friday moving such office equipment into waiting trucks and Sport Utility Vehicles.

Some of the lawmakers gave the acquired items to their aides & supporters. Others sell theirs to willing buyers within NASS complex.
One NASS staff spoke to @TheNationNews:

“Meanwhile, incoming lawmakers must be provided with a new set of these equipments. What's wrong with these ones being given away that the incoming lawmakers cannot use, even for the next four years?”

The breakdown showed that a Samsung double door refrigerator was given out for N25,000; HP Envy Core 13, N49,000; Apple Ipad Air computer , N41,980; LED TV Samsung UA4600AR 50, N59,500.

Shredding machine, N19,800; Water dispenser with bottle, N8,990...
Photocopying machine Sharp Copier AR 6021 N57,172; Scanner HP Scanjet Pro 3900 Fi N20,130; HP Laserjet Pro M201 N10,038; Desktop Computer Model Envy 23″ Touch screen; and Suit hanger N1,900.

Any member taking the entire 11 items would pay N349,970,50 with N17,498.83 as VAT.
SLASH NASS BUDGET!

Our position remains: NASS budget should be cut down to N52bn from N125 billion.

All overhead items, which account for 50% of the budget, should be centralised in the General Services Unit for efficiency.

This rip-off cannot continue!
