Senators engaged Finance Minister Olusegun Aganga and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in a fierce verbal exchange over the duo's public statements on the National Assembly's spending profile.
Aganga denied ever making any public comments on the matter.
Sanusi owned up to his statement, saying he relied on a document he got from the Director-General of the Budget Office to draw his conclusion.
At a point, he told the Senators that he could quit the job, "if you want me to."
"I'm not tired of my job, but if you want me to resign, I will resign. The Central Bank is not my life."
Senator Gyang Dantong was asking him whether he was tired of his job.
Sanusi maintained that the National Assembly alone gets N136.25 billion of the Federal Government's overhead of N536.26 billion, representing 25.4 per cent.
