Budget Defence: Reps walk NTI boss out over poor presentation

2 Min Read

The House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education yesterday walked out the Nigerian Teachers Institute boss, Mr. Aminu Ladan Sarahu over poor presentation of his institute’s 2016 budget proposal.

The Committee on Basic Education Chaired by Rep. Zakari Moham-med, APC, Baruten/Kaima Federal Constituency was not impressed by the presentation of the proposal given by the NTI boss as the he, Zakari, asked the NTI boss to go home and do a proper budget to be presented to committee within the next two weeks.

Mr. Sarahu’s comment during the budget proposal where he stated that his institute was tagged Basic Education, hence it was denied funds from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) irritated the Lawmakers into the decision to throw his defence away.

Mr, Sarahu was thereafter ordered by the Lawmakers to explain line-by-line what he enumerated in his proposal as the Lawmakers accused him of having a bias ming characteristic of an unprepared Chief executive.

The committee head seeing as they could not make anything tangible from the budget proposal at this point politely ordered the NTI boss to excuse the committee to enable it face other serious tasks, while giving him a time period of two weeks to repackage his proposal and appear before the Committee once again.
