Both the Majority and Minority leaders, Abdulahi Yahaya and Enyinnaya Abaribe, suggested that the report be considered part by part to avail the senators the full knowledge of every line item and details of the bill. The loan, he said, was to execute key infrastructural projects across the country between 2016 and 2018.
The then lawmakers, however, rejected the request as majority voted against it when it was brought for consideration.
