The Nation Newspaper Why NASS didn't delay N2.17trn supplementary budget – Senate
It said the budget needed to be passed to allow for speedy implementation in view of the limited lifespan of the budget which terminates on December 31, 2023.
Ndume told journalists that the National Assembly accelerated the budget passage because of certain national interest. “If N35,000 is paid to each of the over 1.5 million workers, the amount is huge. The money was captured in the supplementary budget. “It is not true that the Senate was silent on the N5billion provided for the yacht. We had harmonised with the House of Representatives before the joint appropriation committee of both chambers prepared and presented their reports. It was even signed by the two chairmen.
“A particular amount of money was also provided in the Ministry of Agriculture which was meant for the purchase of grains as palliatives to encourage farmers to engage in dry season farming so as to guarantee food security.
