PMB Redeploys 184 Top Officials Over Budget Padding
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday
ordered the redeployment of top officials
over the recent budget padding which
ridiculed the 2016 national budget
proposal.
A reliable source informed LEADERSHIP
friday last night that over 184 top budget
officials had been redeployed to other
establishments that had nothing to do
with budgeting.
President Muhammadu Buhari had
vowed that anyone found wanting in the
recent budget padding would not go
unpunished.
Buhari had described the incidence as
embarrassing and promised to deal
decisively with anybody found guilty of
tampering with the budget.
“The culprits will not go unpunished. I
have been a military governor, petroleum
minister, military head of state and
headed the Petroleum Trust Fund. Never
had I heard the words “budget padding.”
“Our minister of Budget and National
Planning did a great job with his team.
The minister became almost half his size
during the time, working night and day to
get the budget ready, only for some
people to pad it. What he gave us was not
what was finally being debated. It is very
embarrassing and disappointing. We will
not allow those who did it to go
unpunished,” he had vowed.
