NLC, TUC Urge NASS, FG To Speed Up Passage Of Budget
The Organised Labour, yesterday, called on the Federal Government and the National Assembly to speed up the process of the passage of national budget in the interest of the nation.
This was made known by the President, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Mr Ayuba Wabba, while speaking with newsmen in Abuja, said the passage of the budget was over delayed.
Wabba noted that lack of cooperation between the Executive and the National Assembly had been responsible for the delay in the passage of the 2017 budget.
He stressed that this had also delayed the screening of the 27 commissioners of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that had been kept in abeyance.
According to Wabba, the implication of not passing the budget five months into the year translates into the delay in delivering on infrastructure development and dividends of democracy.
The President, Trade Union Congress (TUC), Bobboi Kaigama, bemoan the delay in the implementation of the 2017 National Budget.
“We have observed that politicians have a tradition of taking advantage of our annual fiscal plans to loot the nation’s treasury.
“There is urgent need for serious restructuring and overhauling of the whole system.
“We need policies, designed to permanently put the economy on the path of suitable growth,” he said.
