Senate Explains N10 Billion"hidden" In Education Budget by abila122: 11:12am On Feb 11, 2016
The N10 billion padding reported to be discovered in the education budget is meant for the Universal basic Education Commission and a typographical error from the office of the National Planning and Budget, the Chairman of Senate Committee on Higher Education, Senator Binta Masi Garba, has revealed. Speaking on Wednesday in Abuja after the commissioning of Federal University, Lafia’s connection to Nigerian Research and Education Network (NgREN) in inter-conference programme in National Universities Commission (NUC). Garba said the issue was not with the ministry of education and that it had been resolved by the house and the senate.

It would be recalled that the Senate Committee on Education last week at the 2016 budget defence noted that it uncovered about N10 Billion hidden in the budget of parastatals by the Federal Ministry of Education. The Senator, however, said since the committee came on board, they had seen a lot of acts that needed to be amended to enable free flow on the quality of education in the country.
