The revised bill was passed after the House had approved all the classes on the bill during the committee of the whole.

According to the bill, the revised capital expenditure is now N80.9 billion, while the recurrent expenditure is N77.6 billion.

The House had earlier approved N160 billion as 2017 Kwara budget.
