Budgit co-founder, Seun Onigbinde, has been appointed as a Technical Adviser in the Ministry of Budget and National Planning. Communication Associate of Budgit, Shakir Akorede, confirmed the news on Friday. He said, while the news was true, it had nothing to do with Budgit which is still dedicated to holding government accountable.
Akorede said, “It’s true, however, I need to point out that this has nothing to do with Budgit. As you may recall, Seun has been absent from the company for some time. This is a situation that affects Seun as a person, nothing to do with Budgit. “This is in his personal capacity as a Nigerian,” Akorede insisted.
Onigbinde co-founded Budgit, a social enterprise dedicated to calling for fiscal transparency in government.
