The Attorney -General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami,
on Wednesday, said debt judgements incurred by the Federal
Government has risen to N150bn.
The AGF stated this when he appeared before the Senate Committee
on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters.
He said the bills accumulated because the ministry was not
funded regularly to meet its obligations in that regard.
He, therefore, appealed to the Senate panel to appropriate N30bn
to the Ministry annually to defray the debts.
He said, “The Ministry of Justice was mandated to take inventory
and explore avenues for the payment of judgement debt which has
become hydra-headed.
“This has arisen because it was only in 2017 that the sum of
N10bn was disbursed for the payment of judgement debt as
appropriated.
“As it stands, the sum of over N150bn remains unpaid, prompting
beneficiaries of this sum to keep mounting pressure on the
Ministry.
“Distinguished members of this committee are hereby respectively
requested to intervene on this long standing vex issue by
appropriating the sum of N30bn annually to mitigate this
challenge.
“It will also forestall possible friction, accrued interests and
unwarranted litigations arising from our failure to effect
payment.”
