The House of Representatives has approved the request of President Bola Tinubu for an amendment to the 2022 appropriation act.
The approval followed the request of Tinubu for N500 billion for palliatives to Nigerians to reduce the hardship caused by subsidy removal.
The amendment passed the first, second, and third readings during plenary on Wednesday.
However, the House on Thursday approved the President’s request after members of the House made contributions.
