 The Senate Committee on Finance says there is no provision for the monthly 5,000 transport grants to 40 million poor Nigerians in the 2022 budget, currently being conceded by the National Assembly. Minister of Finance, Bargat National Plainin Zainab Ahmad said the federal government plans to remove fuel subsidy mid next year and the transport allowance was to cushion its potential negative impact on the most vulnerable Nigerians. For the Senate Committee, it said that the 2022 budget proposal contains fuel subsidy but no provision for the proposed 5,000 naira grant or transport grant, which amounts to 2.4 trillion naira annually. Chairman of the Committee, Senator Salomon, stated this while speaking with Nisminov to present in his panel's report on the budget to the Appropriations Committee. He said before the executive could embark on such intervention, a proposal to that effect must be sent to the National Assembly for approval. He also raised questions about the criteria to select the beneficiaries of the proposed transport subsidy. Yes, for us, we still believe it's still in news because this budget we are considering contains subsidy and if we are passing a budget already that have subsidy already containing the document, we cannot speak because that is the document that is currently before us. In the case you have said yes, some quarter says the Arab Minister of Finance, budget and it was quoted saying that 40 million Nigeria will be paid $5,000 and 5,000 naira as transportation allowance, a lieu of the fuel subsidy. I don't want to go into these details for now, I believe that if such proposal is to come to pass, a document to that effect must be sent to the National Assembly for us to see how possible, how visible if this is and how do we identify these 40 million Nigeria that are going to benefit from this process. There are still a lot of issues to be deliberated upon and looked into if eventually this will come to pass and how do we raise this money to pay these 40 million Nigeria because I know that even at the subsidy or revenue being raised, our money that are coming in from this so-called oil and other sources of revenue to the federal government. So how do we, this is not provided for already in the budget as we have. We don't have anywhere in the budget where 40 million Nigeria at 5,000 naira equals this amount of about 2.4 trillion contained in that budget. And I know there will be a budgetary provision for this for us to consider. That's why I said it's still in news out there until it is now formally comes to the National Assembly for either environment to the budget or reordering of the budget and so on that thing. So for now, I still want to take it as a rumor and as a news until it's formally there to be presented before the National Assembly.
