ASHENEWS reports that the National Assembly (NASS) on Thursday, passed the N2.17 trillion 2023 Appropriation Bill after the third reading.
The budget was approved during the plenary session, after the Appropriations Committee’s report was presented by Senator Adeola Olamilekan.
ASHENEWS recalls that President Bola Tinubu had, in a letter read in both chambers, asked federal lawmakers for their approval of his proposal.
This is the second request of its kind in the year, with the previous approval of N819.5 billion aimed at providing support to poor Nigerians.
In the letter, the president emphasized the importance of implementing additional palliative measures, including the wage award for public servants and the enhanced Cash Transfer Programme, to support the most vulnerable individuals in society.
