\u201cWe were given the mandate to submit the report today (Tuesday).<\/p>\n

Buhari urges Senate to approve N895bn supplementary budget<\/p>\n

According to him, the time we expect we will be able to do this is this week, and then get our report submitted on Tuesday next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appeal to this distinguished Senate to permit us to submit our report on Tuesday next week.,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Lawan, while interjecting, said, \u201cchairman, you will not have more than today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very straightforward Supplementary Budget request. So it doesn\u2019t need two weeks working on it. And you remember, we have a lineup of so many important bills to consider in this Senate.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you have today. You lay tomorrow, we will receive tomorrow, please. Because I am sure you had the entire weekend from Wednesday, almost six days. That should be enough. These are just two sectors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not a complicated thing. So you don\u2019t need up to Tuesday next week. So you submit tomorrow (Wednesday) please,\u2019\u2019 Lawan added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
