Buhari<\/a> transmitted the supplementary budget of N895 billion to the Senate for approval last Tuesday.<\/p>\nThe president\u2019s request was referred to the Appropriations Committee for further legislative work. And the panel was asked to report back on Tuesday (today).<\/p>\n
But Mr Jubrin explained that it was impossible for the panel to conclude work on the budget and asked for more time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were given the mandate to submit the report today. We started work on the bill. And we discovered that we needed more time because we feel we must meet the minimum standard set out by the rules of this Senate in processing the bill.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe expected time we feel we will be able to do this is this week and then get our report submitted on Tuesday next week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appeal to this Distinguish Senate to permit us to submit our report on Tuesday next,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
But Mr Lawan declined this request as he said there are many other important bills to be considered by the Senate.<\/p>\n
\u201cChairman, you will not have more than today. This is a very straightforward supplementary budget request. So it doesn\u2019t need two weeks working on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you remember, we have a line up of so many important bills to consider in this Senate.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you have today, you lay tomorrow, we receive tomorrow. Because I\u2019m sure you had the entire weekend from Wednesday, almost six days. That should be enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not a complicated thing. So you don\u2019t need up to Tuesday next week. So you submit tomorrow please.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the budget is expected to be laid on Wednesday, it is ,however, not clear if the Senate will consider and pass it the same day.<\/p>\n
Buhari\u2019s request comes about two weeks after the Federal Executive Council approved the money.<\/p>\n
The federal government said the budget is specifically meant to enhance the capacity of the military and para-military agencies to tackle the various security challenges in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe total of this expenditure is made up of N83.56 billion for COVID-19 vaccine programme, covering 30 billion vaccines from Johnson and Johnson vaccines and the logistics cost related to the deployment of that vaccine.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt also contains the sum of N1.69 billion for the Nigerian Comprehensive AIDS programme currently operating in the States and an additional contingency provision of N40 billion under the public service-wide wage adjustments to take care of the needs for allowances to the health and education sectors and other wage-related issues, the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, had said on June 9.<\/p>\n
She said the Council also approved an aggregate sum of N770.60 billion to further enhance the capacity of the defence and security agencies to address current and emerging security challenges in our country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
