President Muhammadu Buhari will sign the 2022 Appropriation Bill on Friday, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has said.
He said the budget had been transmitted by the National Assembly and that the President would sign the bill into law by 10am on Friday.
He responded to prodding via WhatsApp message: “Yes, it’s true the President will sign the 2022 budget by Friday.”
The expected presidential assent to the appropriation bill is coming barely a week after lawmakers in the Senate and House of Representatives passed a budget of N17.126 trillion, increasing the benchmark price of crude from $57 to $62 per barrel.
