 Strong indications have emerged that the National Assembly will pass the 2023 Appropriation Bill next week. President of the Senate Ahmed Lawan and Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Bajabiamila had at various times during the week indicated that the federal government budget will be passed on Thursday when the lawmakers were expected to embark on Christmas and New Year break. However, it has been observed that the highest committee and appropriations will not lay its reports on the money bill on Thursday. The laying of the report was not listed on the other paper for the day as several lawmakers blamed the delay on the 2022 finance bill and supplementary bill recently transmitted to the National Assembly for consideration in passage. The reason for this is because the Appropriation Bill came to the National Assembly with some problems and when our committees on appropriation in the Senate and House started to reconcile the figures of what we have done and what was presented, the problems became very obvious and they were not easy to deal with and therefore our committees had to start a process of cleaning up the bill first. That process, of course, also engaged the executive arm because the problem came from there, was concluded yesterday only yesterday. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
