President of the Senate, Dr
Bukola Saraki on Tuesday, mandated the Appropriation Committee to tidy up
reports on the 2018 Budget latest by Friday, April 13 for submission to the
Senate next week.
Consideration of the 2018 Budget
of N8.612 trillion by both Chambers of the National Assembly after its
presentation on November 7, 2017 by President Muhammadu Buhari had been at
committee levels since December last year.
Consequently, Saraki said, “The
Chairman Appropriation should please ensure that by Friday this week
collections of reports from various committees end.
“There should be no more
extension for that purpose because the appropriation committee itself must
submit its report to the Senate unfailingly next week.”
Saraki’s directive was sequel to
earlier announcement made on the floor of the Senate via a letter by the
Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, Sen. Danjuma Goje extending time for
submission of reports by the various committees to Friday.
The two chambers of the National
Assembly had before embarking on the Easter break on March 29 fixed April 24
for the passage of the budget.
