The main opposition party in a communiqué urged the legislature to examine the expenditure layout and put adequate clauses to eliminate diversion, ensure prudence as well as guarantee broad-based transparency in target-specific disbursements across all need areas in the fight against the pandemic.
The PDP says its call is predicated on apprehensions in the public space over allegations of fraudulent diversion of funds in the recent disbursement of twenty thousand naira social palliatives, with some persons rejecting the figures.
The party therefore urged the National Assembly to demand the Federal government to furnish it with details of how the five hundred billion naira would be spent; what amount would be spent on interventions on individuals and families as well as a template that guarantees that the fund gets to the targeted vulnerable Nigerians.
