The Senate on Tuesday announced
the deferment of debate on the 2018 budget submitted to the joint session of
the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari about 2 weeks ago.
This is contrary to its earlier
plan to commence debate on the general principles of the budget.
Senate President and leader of
the National Assembly, Bukola Saraki, made the announcement at the commencement
of Tuesday’s legislative business.
He told the lawmakers that the
deferment was done so as to enable the Upper Legislative Chamber pass the
Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and the Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP),
this week.
He also said that the deferment
will allow the National Assembly’s bureaucracy distribute copies of the budget
proposal to members of the House.
Seriously this people are very lazy watch it before you know it they will go for break giving different excuses
