The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has stated that the National Assembly will ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari’s N16.39 budget is passed before the Christmas recess.
On Thursday, Lawal, who presided over a combined session of the Senate and the House of Representatives, announced this.
“I hope we are able to complete the entire process before we go for Christmas and new year or before the end of December by the grace of God,” said Lawal.
The statement is coming after the President presented a N16.39trn budget which was earlier passed by the Senate as contained in the revised MTEF and FSP on Wednesday.
