The Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Electoral Matters has adopted President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for a virement of N143 billion from the 2018 Budget for INEC.
The legislators took the decision at the end of an executive session which lasted about forty minutes.
Addressing newsmen at the end of the closed door meeting, Chairman, Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, Suleiman Nasif, announced the resolve of the committee to have INEC come before it and present a fresh request to that effect.
The committee expects INEC to make the presentation on Tuesday. But the commission implored the committees to approve the two sums in the 2018 budget since it is most unlikely the 2019 budget will be ready before February when elections will hold.
