Lawmakers in the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, walked out Zacch Adedeji, the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, during a closed-door session.
One lawmaker reported to journalists that Adedeji was ordered to leave after members accused him of being arrogant in his responses to their questions.
The executive session centred on delayed releases for zonal intervention projects.
Members have complained for weeks about unpaid contractors caused by stalled budgetary disbursements.
According to the lawmaker, Finance Minister Wale Edun informed the House that the 2024 budget must be fully funded within 48 hours.
He added that the 2025 budget will be extended to April, with 30% funding to begin immediately and 20% released before December ends.
Members insisted that these commitments must be fulfilled before any further budgetary processes.
The lawmaker said the House would not receive the 2026 budget until all outstanding issues are resolved as promised by the Minister.
