Chairman of the Senate ad-hoc Commitee on mounting humanitarian crisis in the North East, Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna) has described the suspension of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir David Lawal as a welcome development.
Sani's committee had in December last year indicted Lawal in a grass cutting contract scandal worth N200m involving the Presidential Initiative on North East (PINE) . The Senate in a unanimous resolution requested President Buhari to sack the SGF.
Rather, Buhari in letter to the Senate in January, said the Senators were unfair to the SGF. The SGF issue is one of the causes of the feud between the executive and the legislature.
Sani in a statement said the suspension was commendable and that President Buhari has taken the Senate Commitee report and recommendations seriously.
