The National Assembly will pass the proposed N49.7 trillion 2025 Appropriation Bill this week.
The Senate and House of Representatives joint Committees on Appropriation are expected to lay their reports today, Tuesday, during plenary.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator ADEYEMI ADARAMODU, confirmed that the budget would be passed this week depending on the content of the report expected to be presented by the National Assembly Committees on Appropriations before the respective chambers.
Although both chambers had initially scheduled to pass the budget last Friday, January 31, 2025, the date was shifted to allow standing committees to complete their budget defence process undertaken by heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of the Federal Government.
