President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has said that the upper chamber will on Wednesday consider President Muhammadu Buhari’s N895.842 billion supplementary budget request.
Lawan made the disclosure on Tuesday during plenary after the Senate received the report of the Committee on Appropriation on the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2021.
The Politico had reported that the Senate on June 22, 2020 received President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for the approval of the 2021 Supplementary Appropriation Bill of N895.8 billion.
The Appropriation Committee Chairman, Senator Jibrin Barau, had last week pleaded with the upper chamber to allow the Joint Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives come up with a harmonised report on the supplementary appropriations bill to facilitate its eventual presentation today.
