| dc.description.abstract | This paper looks at the power of the National Assembly (NASS) to control the
purse in Nigeria. We look at the constitutional establishment of the NASS and
the powers conceded to it in the Constitution on appropriation and public
funds generally with a view to probing or interrogating the extent, scope and
limit of these powers. We looked at other jurisdictions like Britain and
America and we concluded that the NASS has limitless power with regard to
ensuring transparency, probity and accountability in the administration of
public funds in Nigeria. The National Economic Council (NEC) is neither an
alternative to the NASS nor a rival body to the National Assembly by the tenor
of the constitution. | en_US |
