The Senate, on Thursday, extended the implementation of the 2023 Appropriation Act and the 2023 Supplementary Appropriation Act to December 31, 2024.
This was sequel to its consideration of the request of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which was read during plenary by the Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The senators had cut short their recess which was to elapse on July 2, 2024, and returned for an emergency session to consider a bill for an act to amend the 2023 supplementary appropriation act to further extend its implementation to December 31, 2024, as requested by President Tinubu.
Daily Trust reports that with the extension, the capital components of the 2023 Appropriation Act and the 2023 Supplementary Appropriation Act will run simultaneously with the implementation of the capital allocation in the 2024 Appropriation Act.
