Subsidy Removal: No Provision for N5000 Transport Grant in 2022 Budget – Senate | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Adeola Olamilekan Solomon, has stated that the 2022 budget proposal contains fuel subsidy, but no provision for the proposed N5000 transport grant to 40 million poor Nigerians, which amounts to N2.4 trillion annually.

He stated this while speaking with newsmen after presenting his panel’s report for 2022 budget to the Appropriations Committee.

According to him, before the executive can embark on such intervention, a proposal must be sent to the National Assembly for approval.

“The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning was quoted to have said that 40 million Nigerians would be paid N5000 as transportation allowance in lieu of the fuel subsidy.

I don’t want to go into details for now. I believe that if such proposal is to come to pass, a document to that effect must be sent to National Assembly for us to see how possible it is and how do we identify the 40 million Nigerians that are going to benefit.

There are still a lot of issues to be deliberated upon and looked into if eventually this will come to pass. How do we raise this money to pay these 40 million Nigerians because I know that even the federal government revenues are from this so-called oil and other sources.

We don’t have anywhere in the budget where 40 million Nigerians will collect N5000 monthly as transportation allowance totaling N2.4 trillion.

I know that there must be a budgetary provison for this for us (National Assembly) to consider. That is why I said it is still a news out there until it is formally sent to the National Assembly for either a virement to the budget or reordering of the budget.”
