Buhari could present 2023 budget in October – Gbajabiamila
House of Representatives Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila said President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to present the 2023 budget to the National Assembly in October.
Mr. Gbajabiamila said this when he spoke to reporters shortly after inspecting the Chamber's courtrooms 028 and 234, which were to be used as a temporary chamber due to the ongoing renovation of the Chamber complex in Abuja on Wednesday. .
"I hope the budget will be presented no later than the first week of October," he said.
The Senate and House Finance Committee are currently hosting interactive sessions with government agencies on the 2023-2025 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper.
Mr. Buhari presented the 2022 budget during a joint session of the National Assembly on October 7, 2021.
temporary roomMr. Gbajabiamila said that the configuration of the provisional chamber would be made, before September 20 for the resumption of the plenary.
"You can see the setup, it's not just this place and it's also upstairs. So I think it's about 100-something here and about 200-something upstairs .
"It was set up so that everything is connected and you can see the screens, I can see everyone upstairs, everyone in the chair can see everyone upstairs and can see everyone down there.
"Where we are now, it will be ready on Tuesday, this work started in August, and it started a few weeks late but for good reason.
“So far, between August and today, giant strides have been made. You can see the old chamber has been torn apart,” he said.
Mr. Gbajabiamila added: "We will ultimately be proud to have a chamber that will meet the best standards around the world; I am quite impressed with the work so far and will encourage them to double the pace," he said. .
He said the renovation was largely for the benefit of the upcoming 10th Assembly, as the master bedroom was not going to be ready until August 2023.
