Last Thursday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced that Tinubu would present the 2025 budget on Tuesday.
He said, “The president has made his intention known to the National Assembly to present the 2025 budget to the joint Assembly of the National Assembly on the 17th of December, 2024.”
Akpabio announced that the budget presentation will occur at the House of Representatives Chamber.
He further informed the lawmakers that plenary will be at 10:30 am to allow senators to meet in the Red Chamber before moving in procession to the House of Representatives chamber where the budget will be presented.
Last month, Tinubu submitted the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper for 2025–2027 to both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
