President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially presented the 2025 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly.

According to Naija News, the president unveiled the budget during a session held on Wednesday. He described the 2025 Appropriation Bill as the “Budget of Restoration: Securing Peace and Building Prosperity.”

The session was presided over by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives Abbas Tajudeen.

Lawmakers are now set to scrutinize the budget’s provisions and allocations before its potential passage.
