The Senate has threatened to withhold approval of the 2026 budget proposal for the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation over the poor release of funds to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and the non-payment of contractors.
The warning was issued by the Senate Committee on Finance during a budget defence session with the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi.
The committee, chaired by Senator Sani Musa, declined to consider the 2026 budget proposal, citing widespread complaints about inadequate releases in the 2025 budget and outstanding liabilities carried over from 2024.
