Former Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, on Wednesday urged former Chief of Defence Staff and newly confirmed Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa (retd.), to push for the inclusion of the Nigerian Army in the First Line Charge to guarantee seamless and timely funding for military operations.
First Line Charge—also known as statutory transfer—is a special funding category in which agencies receive their budgetary allocations directly from the Federation Account before other Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
