“The tenement of this bill is to correct the constitutional aberration which was capitalised upon in the recent past to divert the fund to other uses. “It is therefore certain that when the proposed amendment is made to the Principal Act, monies belonging to TetFund shall be duly secured,’’ he said. In his contribution, Senator Adamu Aliero (APC-Kebbi) noted that it was really a constitutional aberration for money to be spent without the approval of the National Assembly.
