Members of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum
have called on the Minister of Finance, who is also the Coordinating
Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to resign her
appointment if she knew she would not be able to adhere strictly with
the Appropriation Act 2013.
They said the non-compliance with the
revenue projections of the Federal Government 2013 Budget was also a
direct breach of the provisions of the Appropriation Act, 2013.
These decisions were part of the resolutions of the Governor Rotimi Amaechi-led NGF, which met in Abuja on Tuesday evening.
States which were represented by their
governors at the meeting were those of Rivers, Niger, Kwara, Osun,
Ekiti, Ogun, Adamawa, Oyo, Lagos, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kano and Zamfara
while deputy governors of Edo, Borno and Nasarawa states represented
their governors.
The governors also called for the immediate dissolution of the Economic Management Team.
