Lawmakers in the House of Representatives on Tuesday walked out the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji, during a closed-door session.
A lawmaker in the session told Channels Television that Adedeji was ordered out after members accused him of arrogance while responding to 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.

Members insisted that these commitments must be fulfilled before any further budgetary processes.
