Appropriation Bill: Proposed Passage Of Nigeria’s 2023 Budget Suffers Setback

The proposed passage of the 2023 budget in Nigeria suffered a setback on Thursday as both Chambers of the National Assembly failed to consider the report of its Committees on Appropriation due to irregularities on the part of the Executive. 
The Senate also suspended the consideration of the Finance Bill 2023 and the 2022 Supplementary Budget to enable its committees to conclude work on the legislation.
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, disclosed these developments at the start of plenary. 
Lawan says the budget that was sent to the National Assembly was riddled with so many errors which hindered the passage.

Senator Lawan then adjourned plenary till Wednesday 28th December with a charge to relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies, to make themselves available when invited by relevant committees.
