President Bola Tinubu’s N47.9 trillion 2025 budget presentation to the joint session of the National Assembly, originally scheduled for Tuesday, December 17, has been moved to Wednesday, December 18.
This was revealed on Monday by a senior staff member of the National Assembly.
According to the insider, a formal notification regarding the postponement should be published within the next several hours.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, had, during the announcement at the Thursday plenary, announced that Tinubu will present the 2025 budget on Tuesday.
He said, “The president has made his intention known to the National Assembly to present the 2025 budget to the joint Assembly of the National Assembly on the 17th of December, 2024.”
Akpabio announced that the budget presentation will occur at the House of Representatives Chamber.
He further reminded the members that plenary will be at 10:30 am to allow senators to gather in the Red Chamber before travelling in procession to the House of Representatives chamber where the budget will be presented.
Tinubu last month submitted the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper for 2025-2027 to both the Senate and the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
