Abiodun Faleke, who expressed serious concern over what he described as questionable expenditure patterns by the agency.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Faleke queried several budget lines, including \u20a6377.031 million spent on welfare packages out of an approved \u20a6377.658 million; and \u20a676.939 million expended under \u201cother expenses\u201d from a \u20a678.838 million provision, among others.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawmakers also raised concerns over \u20a6470.122 million spent on international travels and training despite an extant directive from the Chief of Staff to the President restricting overseas trips by government officials. The amount was drawn from an approved budget of \u20a6479.845 million.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Documents submitted to the committee further showed that NBET spent \u20a6111.804 million on management, staff and board retreats; \u20a671.379 million on board sittings and directors\u2019 allowances; \u20a636.313 million on professional fees; \u20a648.779 million on conferences, seminars and exhibitions; and \u20a631.858 million on refreshments and meals.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other expenditures listed include \u20a69.713 million for cleaning and fumigation; \u20a660.231 million for maintenance of office and IT equipment; \u20a668.552 million on office stationery and computer consumables; \u20a665.530 million on local travel and transport (others); \u20a679.103 million on local travel and transport for training; and \u20a61.780 billion on personnel costs.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The committee also faulted NBET for failing to declare revenue generated in December 2025 in the documents presented for scrutiny.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Responding to questions on the alleged violation of the overseas travel ban, Akinowo said NBET was fully guided by the presidential directive, noting that all international trips undertaken by the agency were duly approved by the appropriate authorities.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are fully aware of the directive, and as a responsible corporate organisation, we strictly comply with it. All travels undertaken had approvals either from the Secretary to the Government of the Federation or the Head of Service,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He explained that participation in events such as the World Bank Spring Meetings was necessary, particularly in relation to Nigeria\u2019s Partial Risk Guarantee programme, adding that NBET officials attended as part of the Federal Ministry of Finance delegation alongside agencies such as the Debt Management Office (DMO), Bank of Industry (BOI) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On funding issues, Akinowo disclosed that out of \u20a6855 billion approved by the National Assembly for the power reform programme, only \u20a660 million was released to NBET.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, the late release of the funds prevented the agency from completing procurement processes, leaving the \u20a660 million unutilised.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Explaining the structure of regulatory income in the electricity market, Akinowo said the funds were designed to cover the operational costs of market participants, noting that distribution companies receive invoices for both energy and capacity payments, as well as market administrative charges.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said regulatory agencies such as the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), generation companies and the Nigerian Independent System Operator rely on these revenues for operations, making them largely excluded from recurrent budgetary appropriations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He added that NBET funds its capital expenditure strictly from allocations provided under the Appropriation Act, in line with extant regulations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Addressing the issue of undeclared December revenue, Akinowo explained that invoices issued in December but due for payment in January or February are recorded in the following fiscal period, stressing that the process is backed by existing legislation to ensure transparency.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ruling on the matter, Hon. Faleke said the committee resolved to make an omnibus demand for comprehensive documentary evidence of all NBET expenditures for 2025, including approvals and waivers obtained from relevant authorities and the Presidency.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Consequently, the committee suspended consideration of NBET\u2019s 2026 budget proposal and adjourned proceedings to Tuesday, February 10, 2026, when the Accountant-General of the Federation is expected to appear before the panel.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, the committee also queried the proposed \u20a614.325 billion 2026 budget of the Federal Ministry of Finance over alleged inconsistencies in the capital expenditure component.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">A breakdown of the proposal shows \u20a64.5 billion for personnel costs, \u20a64.6 billion for overheads and \u20a65.2 billion for capital projects. However, lawmakers questioned the accuracy of the capital allocation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Responding, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, explained that the disputed capital figures included debt servicing entries captured by the Budget Office, which are not part of the ministry\u2019s regular capital spending.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said the classification gave the impression of inflated capital expenditure, whereas the bulk of the figures relate to statutory debt obligations.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also speaking, Chairman of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mohammed Shehu, disclosed that the commission is engaging revenue-generating agencies to resolve longstanding remittance and accountability issues.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, renewed consultations are yielding positive results, with several agencies now taking steps to address compliance gaps and fiscal obligations.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses The House of Representatives on Thursday grilled the Acting Managing Director of the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading (NBET) Plc, Mr. Johnson Akinowo, over the utilisation of \u20a64.099&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":118814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-125454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
