The Senate has said it was not carried along in the planned arrangement by the Federal Government, through its Bureau of Public Enterprises , to either sell or concession some national assets in order to fund part of the 2021 budget .

The Chairman , Senate Committee on Privatisation, Senator Theodore Orji , said this in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said the position of the Senate Committee on Privatisation was : “ We are not aware of the planned arrangement by the Bureau of Public Enterprises to either concession or put for outright sale, some national assets in the country in order to fund the 2021 federal budget . ”

The Federal Government had concluded plans to sell the nation’ s Integrated Power Plants in Geregu , Omotosho and Calabar at N434 bn in 2021 .
