The House of Representatives has condemned in the strongest terms, what it describes as breaches to the constitution and the laws of statutory transfers by the executive with regard to the 2018 appropriation act.

In a motion sponsored by Rep Edward Pwajok, the house observed that some agencies such as the Independent National Electoral Commission, and the universal basic education commission, who were on first line charge, have not been fully funded.
