Chaos ensued in the House of Representatives as President Bola Tinubu proposed to extend the capital component of the 2023 Appropriation Act and the Supplementary Appropriation Act until December 31st, 2024.
The extension, as outlined in a letter read by Speaker Abbas Tajudeen, was deemed crucial for the completion of government projects included in both budgets.
Tinubu’s request for the extension until December 31st aimed at ensuring full compliance with the law.
The proposal led to a split among the lawmakers, with opposition members opposing the idea, prompting a disruptive and noisy session in the assembly.
