Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Chairman, Senate Committee on Power, Steel Development and Metallurgy has cried out to Nigerians… “N30 billion was smuggled into the power budget. The N30 billion was listed for expansion and re-enforcement of infrastructure in the distribution companies to reduce stranded firms.”

“My committee is not aware of the insertion. The amount never passed through the senate power committee. Where did such huge sum of N30 billion come from? Let the budget office and other relevant bodies conduct self examination. Such self examination will go a long way to clear gray areas.”

Meanwhile, the senator has been arrested by the Department of State Service (DSS).
