President Muhammadu Buhari has
threatened to sack over 45 chief executives of federal parastatals and
agencies.
This follows the outcome of the
President’s meeting with the leadership of the National Assembly on Thursday.
The lawmakers had complained to
President Buhari that the chief executives were refusing to appear before the
National Assembly to defend their budgets.
According to Punch, Buhari made
his position to dismiss the chief executives known during a meeting he had with
the leadership of the National Assembly at the Presidential Villa.
A source who was at the meeting
told the newspaper that Buhari took the decision after the federal lawmakers
succeeded in convincing him that they should not be blamed for the delay in
passing the appropriation bill so far.
According to the report, the lawmakers
told the President that out of about 60 government parastatals and agencies,
only about 10 chief executives had appeared before them to defend their
budgets.
