Senate to probe how the Paris Club Refunds and other bailout to state governors by President Muhammadu Buhari were approved




  

    The Senate has resolved to probe how the Paris Club Refunds and other bailout funds to state governors by President Muhammadu Buhari were approved.

   The Senate’s decision followed a point of order raised by Sen. Samuel Anyanwu during plenary, who afterwards, sought the leave of the Senate to move a motion on the matter during the next legislative day.

    He queried the legality of the funds given to governors by the President. The President of the Senate, Sen. Bukola Saraki, sought and got the leave of his colleagues and approved that the proper motion be brought by Anyanwu, to the floor on another legislative day.

   President Buhari, while releasing the N243.80 billion as second tranche of Paris Club refund to states, urged the governors to use a major part of the funds to offset salaries, pensions and other allowances of workers.
