The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has said that the National Assembly will pass the 2020 budget on November 28th 2019.
He made this known during plenary on Tuesday, November 12th, saying the Senate committees have concluded their work on the budget defence with Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
He said “All the committees have done their work so well within the defined parameters and therefore we expect the appropriations committee to galvanise into action and produce the report to be laid here on the 26th November next two weeks, before the Senate. And I believe this will be the same thing in our sister chamber, the House of Representatives, so that we are able to pass the 2020 appropriation bill on the 28th of November”.
