Nigeria's senate president, Godswill Akpabio has assured that the 2025 budget will be transmitted to President Bola Tinubu as soon as possible, highlighting the Senate’s commitment to ensuring a seamless budgetary process.

Speaking during the Tuesday plenary, Akpabio commended senators for their hard work in scrutinizing the budget.

According to him, their efforts will result in a practical financial plan for Nigeria.

He stated: “I congratulate all senators and indeed the National Assembly as a whole for the way and manner you have scrutinized the budget of 2025.

“At the end, we will have a workable document for the benefit of all Nigerians.

“I also thank you for your foresight in extending the capital provisions of the 2024 budget to June so that government business does not grind to a halt as the constitution allows Mr. President to undertake the current expenses in the 2025 budget even for the next few months up to June this year.

“But we will definitely get the budget across to him as soon as possible.”
