The insecurity challenge has assumed formidable dimensions forcing the country’s political and economic managers and, indeed the entire nation, to mourn the loss of their loved ones, insecurity is ruining education, investments and absence of safety in most parts of  Nigeria.

The number of violent crimes such as kidnappings, bombings, religious killings, politically-motivated killing and violence, ethnic clashes, armed banditry and others has increasingly become the  regular signature that characterizes life in Nigeria.

Following the above report, Ministry of Finance has claimed to have released N198.84bn to military authorities.

Details of Minister of Finance report…

GoldenNewsNg gathered that the Permanent Secretary, Special Duties, in the finance ministry, Aliyu Shinkafi, said all the funds appropriated for the war against insurgency had been released to the military authorities.

According to Punch , The Permanent Secretary told the committee that N75bn was appropriated and released in 2019, adding that 7bn was released in 2019.

Shinkafi said N2.5bn was released in 2019 and tagged as ‘administration.’

The Permanent Secretary also told the senators that N75bn was appropriated in 2020 but that N74.99bn was released.

He said, “In the current year, N100bn was appropriated and we have released N19.4bn for the first quarter.

“Just yesterday (Wednesday), we released N19.95bn for the second quarter,” he added.

Ndume however, brought out a letter from the Chief of Defence Staff where he said the military authorities complained that they had shortfall of N50bn as far as releases from the Finance Ministry was concerned.

Ndume expressed dissatisfaction with the non appearance of the Minister at the meeting.

He therefore asked the committee’s secretariat to summon her, alongside the Director General of the Budget Office, Ben Akabueze; and the Chief of Army Staff,  Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru for Tuesday.

Ndume said, “Honestly,  we are not happy that the Minister of Finance is not here today despite the fact that she was duly invited and she knew the importance of the issue we invited her to discuss with us.

“We were blaming the military but the soldiers are claiming that they have no equipment, arms and ammunition to work with because there was no money to buy them.

“We have invited the minister now to explain why her ministry was not funding the operations of the Army and she is not here. This is not acceptable.”
