Following President Bola Tinubu’s call to extend the capital component of the 2023 Appropriation Act and Supplementary Appropriation Act until December 31, 2024, the House of Representatives, was on Thursday, thrown into a rowdy session.
This followed the letter read by the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas.
In the letter, President Tinubu said the extension is critical to ensure that the government completes some of the projects in the two budgets.
Tinubu seeks the extension of the two budgets until 31 December to allow for a full implementation of the law.
