President Bola Tinubu has hinted that he will soon present the 2024 Supplementary Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly (NASS).
The President disclosed this while addressing the joint sitting of the National Assembly in a meeting to mark 25 years of democracy.
While submission of supplementary budget is a norm, the International Monetary Fund recently noted that a supplementary budget may be needed to accommodate the outcome of the ongoing wage structure negotiations which may exceed what they had included in the ₦28.7 trillion 2024 budget.
During the address, Tinubu also commended the federal lawmakers for collaborating with the executive in building the nation, saying no foreign aid will be enough, and All Nigerians must work to make the nation for generations yet unborn.
“We have no other choice; it is our nation. No other institution or personality will help us unless we do it ourselves. No amount of aid from foreign countries or any other nation (will fix us), they take care of themselves first. Let us work together as we are doing to build our nation, not only for us but for generations unborn,” he said.
Significant discussions and speeches were postponed to June 12, which is recognised as Democracy Day in Nigeria.
