President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan says henceforth the National Assembly (NASS) will ensure the passage of the nation’s appropriation bill within three months of its submission by the Executive arm of government.
Lawan stated this known when he fielded questions from State House correspondents after joining President Muhammadu Buhari to perform the weekly Friday’s Juma’at prayer at the Aso Rock Mosque, Abuja.

He, however, expressed the hope that the executive would always ensure early submission of the budget enable the assembly deliberate and pass it in good time.

“Well, this is a crucial thing that worries everyone, every Nigerian wants to see the National Assembly passes the budget in good time and what we have in mind we’ve campaigned with that and it’s something both of us in the National Assembly have bought into – that we’ll pass the budget within three months by the grace of God.

“But I want to say here that it takes two sides of government to pass the budget in good time.

“I am sure that the executive side of the government would like to present the budget before the National Assembly in good time – in September or early October.

“By the grace of God, we in the National Assembly will ensure that we carry out the budget defence and do the remaining parts of the processes and before we leave for Christmas break, the budget would have been passed and Mr President would have the budget before him to assent,’’ he said.

The senate president, therefore, called for sacrifice by both the assembly and the executive so as to create “a window for budget defence only, a dedicate period and timeframe- say a month of which only budget defence will be carried out in the national assembly.

“It is our desire in the National Assembly that every minister, every chief executive officer of every agency comes to the National Assembly and defence the budget of his agency or her agency before going out of the country.

“That window is going to be available within the one month but that is the only window that is going to be available.

Its good to hear words like this from the senate president & I believe the executive arm of government should also present the budget on time & if possible both the executive & legislative arm should properly dialogue about the budget & the time for presentation

Pass budget is not a real problem and you guys have no moral right to delay budget or mess with budget at the first place. Full implementation is our major problem.

President Buhari is disgustingly too slow at everything.

He submitted the 2019 budget to NASS on December 19, 2018 when the
Senate had already proceeded on Christmas-New Year recess.

Again, he knew quite well that the first quarter of 2019 were for a national elections.

He did that deliberately so he would have reasons to blame his failures on others

Crass incompetence

His deputy is even worse, them both should be snail farmers instead of wasting our time in Abuja

If this happens then expect legislators take home to increase because inconvenient allowances will make Nigerian to beg that 6month is not too long.

Don't talk too much.

It is not about speedy passage of the budget alone.

There are smarter and innovative ways you can sponsor bills to make life better for Nigerians.

And South West always go for the lesser, are you scared of occupying top position? South South are still crying after GEJ 5yrs, North is the headquarters of poverty and South West is no better, who is actually deceiving who? Positions for personal gain, if you are by no means connected to any of them you are as much as hopeless like any other Nigerian.
