Tinubu Sends 2024 Supplementary Budget To NASS
Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu has said that he will soon present the 2024 Supplementary Appropriations Bill to the National Assembly (NASS).
The President made this known when addressing a joint sitting of the National Assembly to mark the Silver Jubilee Of Nigeria’s 4th Republic on Wednesday.
“I submitted the last budget to you, you expeditiously passed it. We are walking the talk. I will soon bring the Year 2024 (Supplementary) Appropriation Bill. That is just for your information,” he said.
The President also confirmed “Nigeria, we hail thee’ as the “latest national anthem” at the joint sitting which coincided with the first anniversary of the Tinubu’s administration.
Tinubu pleaded with both the Senate and the House of Representatives to continue to collaborate and work together with the administration to build the country on the path of sustained progress and development.
Tinubu said, “You rang out the latest national anthem, ‘Nigeria, we hail thee’. This is our diversity, representing all characters and how we blend to be brothers and sisters.
“We have no other choice; it is our nation. No other institution or personality will help us unless we do it ourselves. No amount of aid from foreign countries or any other nation (will fix us), they take care of themselves first. Let us work together as we are doing to build our nation, not only for us but for generations unborn.”
However, the Senate President Godswill Akpabio, in his response, said they would be expecting the Supplementary Appropriation Bill of 2024 as soon as possible.
“Thank you, Mr President, we will be expecting the Supplementary Appropriation Bill of 2024 as soon as possible.”
