Senator Sani Musa, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, addressed journalists after a closed-door session, shedding light on the institution’s initiatives aimed at transforming Nigeria’s economic landscape. According to Musa, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Budget (Mopi) is doing exceptionally well, but there are areas that require improvement.
Musa highlighted that Mopi, as the custodian of the federal government’s assets and portfolios, plays a pivotal role in shaping the country’s economic destiny. The committee has identified areas for improvement and engaged Mopi to address them, with a promise to continue the engagement.
The closed-door session with the finance committee was highly productive, with all members in agreement on the next steps. A key outcome was the decision to hold public hearings on two critical bills, scheduled for February 24 and 25.
During the public hearings, the committee intends to tackle two bills each day. Musa emphasized the importance of transparency and inclusivity in the legislative process, encouraging the press to be fully informed about the initiatives underway to boost Nigeria’s economy.
The upcoming public hearings mark a significant milestone in the committee’s efforts to drive economic growth. As Musa noted, the input from stakeholders will be invaluable in shaping the legislation that will ultimately impact Nigeria’s economic trajectory.
Musa’s commitment to economic growth and development is evident in his efforts to engage stakeholders and promote transparency in the legislative process. As the committee moves forward with its plans, Musa’s leadership is likely to play a crucial role in shaping Nigeria’s economic future.
