Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Wednesday openly disowned the N398 million being part of the budget estimates by his ministry meant for the purchase of computers.
Speaking at a budget defence. Session before the Senate Committe on information, Mohammed noted that the total sum of N398 million proposed in the budget for the purchase of computers was strange to him.
Reacting to questions on the N230 million and N168 million voted for the purchase of computers for the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and the Film and Video Censors Board, the minister said he was not aware.
“No, that is not possible. That was definitely not what was proposed, this cannot be,” the minister protested! even as an official of the ministry noted that only N5 million was proposed for the item in the original budget of the NFVCB.
