President Muhammadu Buhari will on Friday, October 7 present the 2023 budget to the joint session of the National Assembly, Daily Independent reports.
The budget presentation will take place at 10:00 am at the temporary chamber of the House of Representatives within the National Assembly complex.
The budget, which stands at N19.76 trillion, will be the last to be presented by Buhari as his tenure elapses on May 19, 2023.
This was disclosed by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan on Tuesday while reading a letter from President Buhari intimating the lawmakers of his plan to present the proposed 2023 budget.
Lawan also announced that Buhari would appear personally to address the joint session of the parliamentarians as against the earlier fears that there might be no space to accommodate the session due to the ongoing renovation.
