The Senate has announced that the 2016 Appropriation Bill submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari will be subject to debate from the lawmakers from Tuesday 19th January.
The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, made the announcement on Wednesday, during plenary.
“Senate President @bukolasaraki announces that the debate of #2016AppropriationBill will commence on Tuesday 19th January 2016,” reads a tweet from the Twitter account of the Nigerian Senate.
This disclosure by the Senate President might be to douse tension and rumour going round that the budget is missing. Many had expected a number of adjustment to the budget going by the dwindling price of crude oil and the downward spiral in the value of the naira.
