President Muhammad Buhari
FG Suspends International Travels for Ministers,
Others
Sequel to the presentation of the 2020 Appropriation Bill by Mr
President to the National Assembly, President Muhammadu Buhari has
directed the immediate suspension of international travels by all
Cabinet Members and Heads of Government Agencies so as to enable
Honourable Ministers personally lead the process of Budget defence
at the National Assembly.
The suspension of such travels will enable Functionaries and
Agencies of the Executive Arm to provide the required cooperation
with the Legislature in order to ensure timely passage of the
Appropriation Bill.
Honourable Ministers who have already secured approval to travel
are by this directive, required to revalidate such approvals with
Mr. President after confirming the Schedule of Appearances with the
relevant Committees of the National Assembly.
Furthermore, all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs)
have been directed to liaise with the relevant committees of the
National Assembly for their Schedules of Budget defence.
