Senate President Ahmad Lawan says
the national assembly will pass the 2020 budget on November 28.
Lawan said this on Tuesday
shortly after the commencement of legislative business at the senate.
The senate president said
following the work done by the various committees, a report on the budget
proposal is expected to be laid in the upper legislative chamber on November
26.
“All the committees have done
their work so well within the defined parameters and therefore we expect the
appropriations committee to galvanise into action and produce the report to be
laid here on the 26th November – next two weeks before the senate,” Lawan said.
“I believe this will be the same
thing in our sister chamber, the house of representatives, so that we are able
to pass the 2020 appropriation bill on the 28th of November.”
On October 8, President Muhammadu
Buhari presented a budget proposal of N10.33 trillion to a joint session of the
national assembly.
The lawmakers commenced work on
the proposal immediately, and on October 15, it passed second reading in the
upper legislative chamber.
The budget defence exercise by
the various ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) before the lawmakers
was concluded on November 5.
