Tinubu Signs N2.17trn 2023 Supplementary Budget Into Law
President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday signed the 2023 Supplementary Budget N2.17trn into law at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Recall that last Thursday, the Senate and the House of Representatives passed the N2.17trn 2023 supplementary appropriation bill after a third reading.
Before the passage of the bill, the Senate adopted the report of the harmonised sittings of both red and green chambers on the 2023 Supplementary Appropriation Bill as submitted by the Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (APC, Ogun West).
The bill expeditiously scaled readings in both upper and lower chambers as lawmakers revealed that it was beneficial for the country.
Tinubu had written the National Assembly seeking the approval of the sum of N2,176,791,286,033 as the 2023 supplementary budget to address labour wage adjustments, security, and more.
Tinubu had stated that the supplementary bill was key for extra palliative measures including wage awards. The Federal Executive Council (FEC) chaired by the President on Monday approved the 2023 supplementary budget of N2.1 trillion.
