Mr Saraki directed the appropriations committee to have its report ready by Thursday, with or without the reports from other sub-committees.
The failure of the senate committee on appropriations to present its report has stalled the consideration and possible passage of the 2019 budget.
“If you remember last week, we made a commitment that by Thursday, you’ll be laying the appropriation report. “We are still having some challenges with the sub-committees on appropriations because out of the 61 committees that we have, only about 24 committees have submitted their reports and we are unable to go ahead and write the appropriation report unless we get further directive from here.
“It is unfortunate that only 24 committees have submitted their reports. Last week, we all took a decision that we are not going to waver on our position.
