NewsNigeriaPoliticsSenate passes N17.13trn 2022 budget

The senate has passed N17.126 trillion as budget for the 2022 fiscal year.

The upper chamber passed the bill for third reading on Wednesday.

After the bill was passed, Senate President Ahmad Lawan applauded the national assembly for restoring the budget cycle back to January to December.

“We thank Almighty God for helping us achieve that.

“Let me commend this senate for standing tall. We are rounding the year on a very high note, we passed the PIB and it is not an act, something that was not passed for over 20 years.

“We passed the electoral bill but we know there are some reservations, so we will look at it with the house of representatives. I am sure that this senate and the national assembly has done a lot in legislative intervention.

“I want to commend Nigerians, we take your advice. This national assembly is for all Nigerians,” he said.
