The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, on Tuesday, said allegations of budget padding of projects and allocations in the 2023 Appropriation Bill made no sense.

She stated this during her presentation before the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations.

Farouq had claimed that the ministry requested some projects for the North East Development Commission and the National Social Safety Net Project in the 2022 budget, which were not released, but was surprised to see an inflated amount in the 2023 budget of the ministry. The issues were concerning the National Social Safety Nets Project –allocated N206,242,395,000 under the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development; refurbishment and procurement of Harris RF-5/7800 Military Communication Equipment at the cost of N8,600,000,000, and the Safe Schools Initiative allocated N2,250,000,000, both under the Ministry of Defence.
