The lawmakers, who commenced the consideration of the report
of the appropriation committee at 12:15.pm, passed the budget at exactly 1.pm.
Reports say that the budget figure was
jerked by N143 billion from the N7.298trn proposed by President Muhammadu
Buhari to N7.441trn.
It was observed that against the initial proposal of N115bn for the National
Assembly budget, the lawmakers jerked their budget to N125bn, making an
increase of N10bn.
It was further observed that there was no objection to the budget from any
lawmaker, except when some lawmakers shouted in protest for the N51bn allocated
to the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
The Senate is still considering the budget document.
