DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq. (Tip 259)

HOW LONG CAN A GOVERNOR SPEND STATE MONEYS WITHOUT
APPROVAL OF HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

Every year, every governor is expected by law to send in a
budget to its House of Assembly for approval. The process of
approving a budget may take months and within such time there is
always need for state to spend public funds. Until a budget is
approved, a Governor can withdraw and spend moneys from the
Consolidated Revenue Funds of the state for necessary services of
government for a period not more than six (6) months or until
budget is approved, which ever that happens first prevails.
Such money to be withdrawn within such time must not be more than
the amount that was approved for the previous year’s budget for
such period of time.

My authorities are sections 122, 318 and 319 of the Constitution
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999.
