Akpabio, who read a letter from Tinubu on the floor of the House during Tuesday’s plenary session, said the presentation will commence by 11.00 a.m.

The Federal Executive Council, FEC, had on Monday approved the budget.

The proposed budget is N1.5 trillion higher than the initial N26 trillion earlier approved by the FEC before the recent passage of the Medium Term Framework, MTEF, and Fiscal Policy document by the National Assembly.

The budget is the highest in Nigeria’s history, and President Tinubu’s first since he came to office on May 29, 2023.
