The Muhammadu Buhari administration has taken steps for a massive sweep of the Nigerian National Assembly for corrupt senators and house of reps members.
A Punch report says FG has started compiling the list of legislators in both chambers who had requested lump sums of money for constituency projects in the 2014 and 2015 budgets, but didn't execute the projects.
N200bn was appropriated for constituency projects in the period.
“If money is appropriated in the budget, paid and the projects the funds were meant for were not executed, it is only natural to take steps to find out what happened. If neither the money nor the project can be produced, then you must take steps in accordance with the law," AGF Abubakar Malami reportedly said.
He added that the funds, the names of legislators and the constituency projects that were not executed would be made public after investigation.
