SERAP Threatens To Sue Nigerian Senate President, House Of Reps Speaker Over ‘Outrageous N228.1bn NASS Budget’The 2023 budget which is based on a N10.49 trillion revenue has a N11.34 trillion deficit.

In the approved budget for the 2023 fiscal year, the National Assembly increased its budget from N169 billion proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari to N228.1 billion, an increase of about N59.1 billion from the country’s N21.83 trillion budget. SERAP in its letter noted that “It is a grave violation of the public trust and constitutional oath of office for the members of the National Assembly to increase their own budget at a time when some 133 million Nigerians are living in poverty.

“This outrageous waste of public money would substantially increase the cost of governance, and exacerbate the debt crisis. It is unlawful, and unfair to the Nigerian people. “The increase in the National Assembly budget, including the unnecessary proposed spending of N30.17bn on ‘severance payments’ and ‘inauguration expenses’ is a fundamental breach of the Nigerian Constitution of 1999 [as amended] and the country’s international human rights obligations.

“The leadership and members of the National Assembly should properly discharge their constitutional and fiduciary duties to Nigerians by ensuring judicious spending of public funds, especially given the current economic and financial realities of Nigeria.
