Senate Calls for Urgent Budgetary Reforms, Hails CBN Leadership’s Global Recognition 

Sunday Aborisade in Abuja 

The Senate through the Chairman of its Committee on Finance, Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, has called for an urgent budgetary reform that would adequately address the nation’s current social and economic challenges 

Musa, who is a delegate representing Nigeria at the ongoing Spring Meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, in Washington DC, according to a statement from his Media Office, yesterday, stated this on the sidelines of the Investors’ Forum at the US.

He specifically urged the executive arm of government to initiate Nigeria’s long-overdue transition to a Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) system.

He emphasised that monetary reforms must be complemented by urgent and far-reaching fiscal reforms to sustain the momentum. 

He specifically called on the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, to work collaboratively with the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, to initiate the Nigeria’s long-overdue transition to a Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) system.

The Senate Finance Panel Chairman commended the leadership of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the unprecedented international credibility accorded to Nigeria’s economic reform agenda.

Musa hailed the presence of high-ranking global financial leaders and institutional investors as a powerful endorsement of the CBN’s reform trajectory.

He said, “The events in New York and Washington had reaffirmed global confidence in Nigeria’s commitment to economic transformation. 

“I commend the leadership of the Central Bank of Nigeria under Mr. Yemi Cardoso for the renewed credibility and trust it has brought to our financial system and will dedicate this goal to the courageous leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 

“The reform agenda being pursued is not only bold but also visionary—anchored on market principles and transparency. 

“The presence of global financial stakeholders at these forums is a testament to the confidence the world now has in Nigeria’s economic direction,” Musa stated.

He emphasised the need to complement these financial sector reforms with deeper fiscal transformation, beginning with a complete overhaul of Nigeria’s budgeting system.

He said, “It is time for Nigeria to transition from the outdated envelope budgeting system to a Results-Based Budgeting (RBB) model. 

“This performance-oriented approach, when combined with comprehensive tax reforms, will significantly enhance fiscal discipline, improve service delivery, and strengthen our economy. 

“We must align our public financial management practices with global standards to effectively deliver on national priorities,” he added.

Musa reaffirmed the National Assembly’s readiness to support legislative actions that will drive these changes and ensure Nigeria’s economic policies remain credible, sustainable, and investor-friendly.

    The Executive Director (Business Development), NEXIM Bank, Stella Okotete, has expressed excitement at the defection of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, to the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

    In welcoming Governor Oborevwori and several prominent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders, including former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, into the governing party, Okotete, a former APC National Woman Leader, said this development will not only strengthen the party but also  enhance its chances of achieving greater success in the coming years, particularly in the South-south geopolitical zone and beyond.

    In a statement she personally signed, Okotete said: “This momentous decision marks not just a political transition, but a bold affirmation of vision, courage, and commitment to the development of Delta State through inclusive, progressive governance. Your Excellency, your entry into the APC is a powerful testament to our party’s rising influence and capacity to unite all well-meaning leaders under one formidable umbrella of growth and transformation.

    “As we welcome the governor and all the PDP members in Delta State into our fold, I call on every APC member—leaders, stakeholders, and grassroots supporters alike—to embrace this new era with open arms and renewed purpose. Let us put aside all divisive tendencies and prioritize loyalty to the party, unity of purpose, and service-driven governance.

    “Our collective strength lies in our unity. And today, with Delta State now firmly aligned with the centre, we stand at the threshold of greatness. Together, let us consolidate our efforts towards the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, support the leadership of Governor Oborevwori, and ensure the continuous growth and dominance of the APC in every corner of our state.

    “A progressive Delta is not a dream—it is our present reality. Let us build it, protect it, and be proud of it.”

    Vice-President Kashim Shettima; APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, are set to receive Oborevwori and other defectors in Asaba on Monday, April 28, 2025. 

    Several APC leaders including the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo (SAN); Delta APC founding leader, Olorogun Otega Emerhor; former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe; the senator representing Delta South Senatorial District, Joel Onowakpo-Thomas; and his Delta Central counterpart, Senator Ede Dafinone, have all welcomed the defection of the governor to the party.

    Sylvester Idowu in Warri 

    Delta State Governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has ordered the prompt initiation of revocation procedures for the abandoned Senate Building project of Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka.

    While giving the order at the 17th convocation of the university in Abraka, Saturday, he said the revocation would enable the state government to re-award it to a capable contractor and ensure its swift completion.

    The governor’s directive was in response to the Vice- Chancellor, Prof. Samuel Asagba’s request to complete the Senate building, abandoned for over 22 years.

    Oborevwori directed the Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Nyerowho Tonukari, to ensure the project was revoked to ensure prompt completion.

    In line with the tradition of the university, the governor also approved automatic employment for the overall best graduating student of the university, Okwa Favour Oghenemine, a Mathematics graduate from the Faculty of Science with 4.95 CGPA.

    Oborevwori congratulated the graduands who had been found worthy in learning and character for the award of various degrees of the great citadel of learning.

    The governor commended the university’s Governing Council and management for the impressive growth recorded by the institution over the years.

    He had on arrival inaugurated the 1km road linking the Faculty of Basic Medical Science to Faculty of Arts and lauded the university’s Governing Council and management for the various projects executed during the short period.

    The Pro -Chancellor and Chairman of Governing Council of DELSU, General Alexander Ogomudia (rtd), commended the governor for the assistance he had rendered to the school and called on donor agencies and philanthropic individuals to contribute to the infrastructural growth of the university.

    While calling on the state government to fast-track the completion of all ongoing and abandoned projects in the school, he equally reminded graduands of the need to be good ambassadors of the institution in their various endeavours.

    The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Samuel Asagba, had disclosed that 6,401 students were graduating from the 2023/2024 academic session, with a total of 830 postgraduate degrees, comprising 154 Doctor of Philosophy, 438 Master’s degrees and 238 Postgraduate Diploma.

    He said the university had attained 100 per cent accreditation of all its programmes, adding that it was recently ranked 20th among over 300 Nigerian universities and third among state-owned universities in the country by the global SciVal Ranking tool of Elsevier.

    The vice-chancellor commended Governor Oborevwori for his commitment to the growth and development of the citadel of higher academic learning.

    He said the university has completed several projects within the short period of his appointment as the eighth substantive vice-chancellor of the university.

    At the convocation, the university conferred the honorary Doctor of Science degrees on foremost entrepreneur and philanthropist, Chief Broderick Uvieoghene Arigbodi; renowned literary scholar, Prof. Tanure Ojaide with Doctor of Letters and outstanding industrialist and philanthropist, Chief Eta Enahoro with honorary Doctor of Business Administration.

    The valedictorian, Okwa Favour Oghenemine of the Faculty of Science with 4.95 CGPA, thanked God for their success and expressed appreciation to the vice-chancellor, management and staff of the university for instituting the Students’ Work and Scholarship Schemes, which enabled indigent students to achieve their academic pursuits.
