National Assembly To Pass 2020 Budget Before End Of November
The 9th Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria may be on the way to making history, as the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, at Tuesday plenary, has asked the Committee on Appropriations to lay its report on the 2020 budget on November 26, for consideration and passage before the end of the month.
It would be the first time since the return of democracy in 1999 for the budget to be passed before January of the following year.
Lawan commended the various committees for working hard and completed the budget defense sessions on time.
He explained that the National Assembly had shown committed in reverting to January-December budget cycle and nothing would change the determination.
He said, “All the committees have done their works so well within the defined parameters.
“Therefore, we expect the appropriations committee to galvanise into action.
“They (members of the appropriations committee) should produce the report to be laid here on the 26th November, which is the next two weeks, before the Senate.
“I believe this will be the same thing in our sister chamber, the House of Representatives, so that we would be able to pass the 2020 Appropriation Bill on the 28th of November.”
