 President Mohamed Abu-Hari has written the House of Representatives to seek approval of 894.842 billion Naira supplementary budget to fund purchase of COVID-19 drugs and weapons for the armed forces. In a letter addressed the speaker Femi Bajabiamila and read at Plenary on Tuesday, the president said the supplementary budget is limited to some critical needs, stressing that other needs will be contained in the 2022 budget. The president indicated the 2022 appropriation bill will be presented to the National Assembly in September. He said COVID-19 drugs will be procured from the supplementary budget as the federal government intends to vaccinate about 70 percent eligible Nigerians before the end of 2022.
