The President of Nigeria’s Senate, Ahmed Lawan, has implored President Muhammadu Buhari to submit 2021 national budget before the end of September, 2020 to afford lawmakers ample time to deliberate on it.
Lawan made this call while delegating the 2021-2023 Media Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper to the relevant committees of the Senate for necessary evaluation. The framework was submitted on Tuesday by President Buhari.
He said that the September deadline would afford the National Assembly enough time to complete necessary works and pass the budget before the end of December.
Lawan tasked the various committee members to duly involve al the revenue-generating committees to ensure proper job is done.
