However, at the meeting, sources told the paper that after Ahmed and Malami made their presentations, they were countered by the Minister of Works, Babatunde Fashola; the Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.<\/p>\n<p>The FEC members who spoke against the deduction were said to have told the meeting that it would be sub-judicial for any payment to be made to the contractors while cases are pending in courts. They also reportedly argued that it was insensitive of Mrs Ahmed and Mr Malami to have tabled a proposal for the payment of controversial debts to contractors at a time the government is struggling to pay workers and fulfil its obligations to citizens.<\/p>\n<p>In their letter to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/09\/nigeria-will-remain-one-despite-challenges-buhari\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buhari<\/a> last week, the governors argued that the essence of the definitive pronouncement by the Supreme Court is that none of the contractors recommended for payment of the sum of $418 Million by the AGF and finance minister can be so paid because the contracts and payments relied upon were not processed as prescribed by the constitution and the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that the plans to begin the deduction of $418 million Paris Club refund owed four contractors from the federation account be suspended.
