2023 Budget: Reps Allocate N850m for Constitution Amendment | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

The National Assembly has allocated N850m for Constitution Amendment in the 2023 Budget.

The House of Representatives recently passed the 2023 Appropriation Budget of N21,827,188,747,391, which raised the 2023 Budget by N1.3tn from N20.5tn proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari in October 2022.

The constitution amendment process has faced several delays at the parliament and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, confirmed recently that the passage of the amendment bill in the ninth Assembly had been stalled.

He said,

“The National Assembly passed a raft of amendments to the constitution and advanced them to the states as required.

“That process now seems to have stalled in the state assemblies. As it is today, it is doubtful that the current constitutional amendment effort will conclude before the expiration of this legislative term.”

The government has over the years allocated about N1bn annually for constitution amendment which has continued to face challenges since 2011.

The Ninth Assembly also recently lamented that the process of the constitution review was being frustrated by some state governors.

The National Assembly has however continued to make allocation available for the project.

The Chairman of the Constitution Review Committee, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, recently lamented that only 11 states have passed bills.

The 11 states that have passed their bills include; Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Delta, Edo, Kaduna, Katsina, Kogi, Lagos, Ogun and Osun.

The Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, Auwal Rafsanjani, speaking on the yearly allocation of funds to the National Assembly, noted that the project has failed, adding that the 10th Assembly, which begins in June 2023, will have to start all over again.

He said,

“Constitutional Amendment has deliberately become a ritual that the lawmakers are using to embezzle funds without any yielded result.

“It is unfair and a total waste of public funds that all the key issues that affect Nigerians like indigenisation, discrimination, land ownership, and some other laws are not captured in the Amendment.”

“It is sad that the leaders both executive and legislature do not have the interest of the people at heart, if they do, we won’t be spending money every year over the same repeated circle of a failed constitution amendment project that has never succeeded for once.

“The process of the Constitution Amendments should begin with gathering information from the citizens to know what issues to be amended exactly.”

Rafsanjani added that people must begin to demand for accountability the money that it spends especially as it relates to the constitutional amendment.
