The Senate issued a stern warning on Thursday, declaring that any government official absent from the 2024-2026 MTEF/FSP interactive sessions would face termination. The upper legislative chamber emphasized the necessity of physical attendance for heads of government agencies at MTF/FSP sittings and urged President Bola Tinubu to dismiss any officials showing a lack of seriousness.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, delivered a clear message during the formal opening of the interactive session, emphasizing that meticulous planning is crucial for success. Akpabio stressed that failure to attend the session indicates a lack of commitment to President Tinubu's administration, and any head of an agency sending a representative is deemed unserious.
The President of the Senate underscored the significance of personal commitment by sharing his own dedication, foregoing other commitments to ensure his appearance. The Senate urged accountability and urged the President to reevaluate the appointment of officials displaying a lack of dedication.
