Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan, has disclosed that the push to pass critical tax reform bills temporarily distracted the National Assembly from maintaining the January-to-December budget cycle, but assured Nigerians that efforts are underway to meet a January 31, 2025, deadline for the passage of the 2025 Appropriation Bill.
Reacting to a question on the National Assembly’s previous achievement of the January-December budget cycle, which has now been lost, Senator Adeola clarified that the timetable for the budget review remains unchanged, and lawmakers are committed to fast-tracking deliberations to meet the proposed deadline.
