President Bola Tinubu has asked the National Assembly to increase the proposed 2025 Budget from N49.7 trillion to N54.2 trillion.

PROMOTED SONG

The Constitution permits the National Assembly, the highest legislative body in the country, to either increase or reduce the financial estimates for the fiscal year through proper legislative procedures.

However, President Tinubu has raised the proposed total budget size for 2025 fiscal year from the N49.7 trillion he presented to the joint session of the National Assembly on December 18, 2024 to N54.2 trillion.

President Tinubu communicated the increase through separate letters forwarded to both Senate and the House of Representatives.

In the letter read during the plenary session in the Senate on Wednesday by Senator Godswill Akpabio, the President stated that the increase was due to an additional N1 trillion in revenues generated by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), N1.2 trillion from the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and N1.8 trillion collected by various other Government-Owned Agencies.

The President of the Senate subsequently directed that the request be sent to the Senate Committee on Appropriations for prompt consideration, declaring that the budget review would be concluded and passed before the end of the month.
