The N47.9 trillion 2025 budget presentation to the joint session of the National Assembly by President Bola Tinubu, earlier fixed for Tuesday, 17 December, has been shifted to Wednesday, 18 December.
Top management staff of the National Assembly said that an official statement on the postponement would soon be issued.
During plenary last Thursday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced that President Tinubu would present the 2025 budget on Tuesday.
He said: “The President has made his intention known to the National Assembly to present the 2025 budget to the joint Assembly of the National Assembly on the 17 December, 2024″.
Akpabio announced that the budget presentation would occur at the House of Representatives Chamber.
He further informed the lawmakers that plenary would be at 10:30 am to allow Senators to meet in the Red Chamber before moving in a procession to the House of Representatives chamber where the budget would be presented.
Last month, President Tinubu submitted the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper for 2025–2027 to both the Senate and the House of Representatives last Tuesday.
