2019 Budget:National Assembly unveils Date Budget Will release
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has promised that the 2019 budget will be passed when plenary resumes on Tuesday, April 2.
He, however, made it clear that the National Assembly would not rubber stamp the N8.83trn 2019 budget saying, “We hope to pass the appropriation bill as soon as we reconvene plenary”.
Dogara stated this in Abuja, during the third public hearing on the national budget.
The Speaker, who blamed the delay in passing the budget to late submission of the money bill by the executive arm of government, expressed regret that previous budgets had not scored up to 45 percent performance.
He commended Ministries, Departments and Agencies that had so far showed up for their budget defense, even as he urged those yet to do so, “to hasten up to ensure expeditious approval of the budget upon resumption by next week”.
