Ita Enang exposes how NASS is responsible for failure of Nigeria’s economy and rising debt

Senator Ita Enang, a former special adviser to the president on matters pertaining to the national assembly, accused the National Assembly on Thursday of being to blame for Nigeria’s economic collapse, the nation’s mounting debt, and the depreciation of the naira.

Enang made this statement during the public launch of Oversight Magazine, which is published by Aniekan Umannah, a former member of the House of Representatives and is devoted to covering happenings in the parliament.

He claimed that the National Assembly’s inability to pose pertinent queries was to blame for the nation’s economic woes.

Enag, who chaired the House and Senate Committees on Rules and Business, claimed that the National Assembly’s both chambers had never released a report detailing their oversight roles as required of them or asked critical questions about the nation’s debt.

He asserts that although lawmakers are obligated to bring their reports to the floor of the house for discussion, they have frequently engaged in oversight to see what the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies are doing.

The former Special Advisor claimed that the National Assembly’s and state Houses of Assembly’s monitoring functions are to blame for the executive branch of government’s subpar performance at both the state and federal levels.

“It is the fault of the National Assembly failing to do their oversight function. If the National Assembly were able, they would ask questions. When you pass a budget, you embark on oversight to see how much of that budget has been released and to what extent the projects in that budget have been executed.

“After that, you bring a report to the floor stating how much has been released and to what extent that project has been executed. You will then know how much is needed to complete those projects that will be included in next year’s budget and what to project in the Medium Term Expenditure Framework, MTEF, in the next three years to exit that project.

“So, the failure of the Nigerian economy, the collapse of the naira and the unimaginable debt of Nigeria is the failure of the National Assembly,” he said.
