President Muhammadu Buhari will sign the 2023 Appropriation Bill into law on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
He lamented that the National Assembly would have passed the Money Bill a week earlier had it not been for irregularities spotted in the proposed legislation.Lawan added, “We are very pleased that we have been able to, in the last four years, ensure the passage of the Appropriation Bills in record time before every Christmas, and Mr. President had always signed before the end of the year.
“This year, particularly, is because of the anomalies, very undesirable and unfortunate situation that we had to delay a little bit. “You will recall that the National Assembly had to cut down its Christmas recess to come back on Wednesday for the sole purpose of passing the Appropriation Bill, which we could have passed a week before. So, all the same! There’s nothing that we missed.”
He said a seamless working relationship between the executive and the legislature has regularised the signing of the Appropriation Bills since 2018, resulting in a “predictable January to December budget for our country.” According to him, this pattern set by the federal government has trickled down to the States most of whom now pass their annual budgets and assent to them before the new year.
