ICPC Chairman, Professor Bolaji Owasanoye made his submission yesterday in Abuja at a one-day policy dialogue on accountability for security votes organised by the Anti-Corruption Academy of Nigeria . Owasanoye alleged that the numbers and categories of ministries, departments and agencies given security votes in the 2019 Budget suggest that something was wrong with the parameters for determining their entitlement to security votes.
“There is widespread belief that the appropriation of security votes in Nigeria is unconstitutional and illegal. This is not correct.”
