The Speaker said, “Illegal oil refineries in Nigeria thrive on illegal oil bunkering, stolen crude oil, and vandalism of oil pipelines and other installations. Without a doubt, these illegal oil operations are reprehensible and should not be condoned for a number of reasons.
Saraki, who described the meeting as fruitful, revealed that they were briefed on the proposed government’s economic recovery plans, the road show for the sale of bonds and the 2017 budget.
While noting that his administration is getting security right and stopping corruption in its tracks, Buhari is confident that the government will get the economy right.
According to SERAP, “To justify project insertion in the budget is to place the interest of the leaders of House of Representatives over and above the public interest.”
It added that, “Budget padding also amounts to corruption as the action is against public interest. Any appearance of corruption in the budget process can result in a cynical public or losing interest in political participation altogether.”
