According to Channels tv, some of the lawmakers, however, agreed to the allocation of the amount to the SGF while others were opposed to it.
Shouts of “no” no” took over the floor as the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, presided over the passage of the 2017 budget.
The Speaker later intervened, explaining that the fund was not meant for the SGF but for the parastatals under the SGF office.
The SGF, Babachir David-Lawal, is on suspension over alleged contract infractions.
