President Muhammadu Buhari will on Thursday, Oct 7, lay the 2022 appropriation budget before the National Assembly.

Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege revealed this during the plenary on Tuesday.

Omo-Agege presided over the plenary in the absence of the President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan. Reasons for Lawan’s absence were not revealed in the course of legislative activities on Tuesday.

The budget presentation was coming early enough due to the January to December fiscal budgetary policy by the 9th National Assembly.

It was recalled that President Buhari presented the 2021 N10.8 trillion budget on 8th October 2020 which enabled the parliament to pass the document into law for its take-off implementation in January 2021.
