Sen. Oluremi Tinubu (APC-Lagos Central) says the budgetary allocation of N4 billion to the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development is inadequate. Tinubu made this known during the debate on the general principles of the 2016 budget proposal at plenary in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to her, the allocation will not be adequate to meet the yearnings and aspirations of the Nigerian women, who are looking up to the APC-led government for succour in line with its 2015 campaign promises.
“This budget is less than N4 billion and the capital is almost N3 billion. When you look at it what is left to do any work. “I am laying this case on behalf of the Nigerian women that this is not going to go well.
It is as if we have been used during the campaign. “We say this is the government of change that our change mantra is supposed to change things across board but what they allotted to the Nigerian women is not encouraging. “When we talk about change that doesn’t mean we are going to just be supporting what is not working. “So the women are not just going to be used to campaign and several promises are made to them.
