 The House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation has the short-priced Bola-Tinibu of speedy passage of the 2024 Appropriation Bill when brought before it. It also vowed to exercise its oversized jurisdiction on all government agencies during its monitoring of the budget implementation. Chairman of the Committee, Awabaka Beaches, today leads an inaugural meeting of the Committee on Tuesday while promising to sustain the long-established precedence of an Ensuring Compliance with the Financial Year Act through budget passage on all before 31 December of each financial year. The Committee will ensure the maintenance of the long-established and cherished precedent of Ensuring Compliance with the Financial Year Act through budget passage on 4th before 31 December of each financial year. This development would undoubtedly make the budget implementation from January to December operational and achievable. In a similar vein, the Committee will ensure its coordinated leadership roles to facilitate pre-budget meetings with relevant MDSs while at the same time providing a sustainable collaboration, especially with the sister committee in the Senate and other relevant stakeholders to enhance the integrity of the budget process through community analysis and the public participation in the enactment process. We should not take it for granted and think that they can fly into this committee from all parts of this National Assembly. So we are constantly going to guard our committee to deny our membership to make sure that every member of this National Assembly does not become a member of the Appropriation Committee. Mr. Chairman, I must thank you very much. Let me assure you on behalf of our members that you have nothing but our support. You have nothing but the solidarity of members of this community. And I must thank you for the depth of your consultation. Thank you very much.
