The Senate President, Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan, has cautioned the Federal Executive Council against selective implementation of 2023 National budget of about N21.8 trillion passed yesterday, Wednesday December 28, by the National Assembly.
Senator Lawan, who handed down the warning via a tweet today, Thursday December 29, said the passage of the 2023 Budget by the National Assembly, was historic in terms of the timing.
He stated: “For the fourth time since the beginning of the ninth National Assembly, the Senate again made history yesterday with the passage of the 2023 national budget of about N21.8 trillion.
“We expect total implementation. No selective implementation. It should be total because this has been what this administration has always tried to do since we came in 2019, and therefore, the country and the people are better for it that the budgets are implemented.
“I also commend the senate and indeed the National Assembly together with the executive arm of government for the innovation of passing Finance Bill which always guide the implementation of the appropriations that we pass.
“Previously, that was not the practice. I’m sure this is a worthwhile, very rewarding practice and it will continue”.
