Chairman of Senate Committee on Higher Education, Senator Binta Masi Garba, has said that the N10 billion padding\u00a0 discovered in the education budget, was a typographical error.<\/p>\n

Few days ago,\u00a0 Health minister, Prof Adewole told the nation that his ministry\u2019s budget was tampered with.<\/p>\n

The allocation meant for the Universal basic Education Commission, she said ,\u00a0 was\u00a0 typographical error from the office of the National Planning and Budget.<\/p>\n

Garba said the issue was not with the ministry of education and that it had been resolved by the house and the senate and would\u00a0 be amended in the budget.<\/p>\n

The senator stated this yesterday in Abuja after the commissioning of Federal University, Lafia\u2019s connection to Nigerian Research and Education Network (NgREN) in inter-conference programme in National Universities Commission (NUC).<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the Senate Committee on Education last week at the 2016 budget defence noted that it uncovered about N10 Billion hidden in the budget of parastatals by the Federal Ministry of Education<\/p>\n

. She however said since the committee came on board, they had\u00a0 seen a lot of acts that needed\u00a0 to be amended to enable free flow on the quality of education\u00a0\u00a0 in the country.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cFor us to find ourselves out of where we found ourselves in Nigeria, education is the bedrock of development and if education is not given the rightful footing in budgeting then definitely we will have a problem. “<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
