According to the report, the Assembly had considered and endorsed the governor’s request to fund the 2026 annual budget, the 2026–2028 MTEF, long-term infrastructure projects, and pension obligations.

The Deputy Speaker later moved the motion for the adoption of the report, which was seconded by the Majority Leader, Yusuf Sherif, who thereafter moved that the report become a resolution of the House. This was seconded by the Minority Leader, Lukman Adeleye, and supported by the entire House through a unanimous voice vote.
