The report on the 2018 budget has
been laid before the senate after a few delays.
The report was laid on Tuesday by
Danjuma Goje, chairman of the senate appropriation committee.
The national assembly had
promised to pass the N8.6 trillion budget on April 24 but it failed to do so.
Thereafter, on May 3, the house
of representatives promised to pass the budget the following week.
“By next week, everything about
the budget will be treated and passed,” Abdulrazak Namdas, spokesman of the
lower legislative chamber, had said.
But the report on the budget was
not laid in either of the chambers. The senate did not sit on the Thursday of
that week.
On May 7, Senate President Bukola
Saraki, after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, told journalists that
the bill would be laid “early next week”.
He had said: “Well, hopefully, it
should be laid this week. If it can’t be laid this week, early next week but we
are hoping it will be laid this week.”
