The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, on Wednesday said that the Federal Government would at the end of September send the 2020 budget proposal to the National Assembly.
Ahmed said this at the High-Level Roundtable meeting on National Donor Coordination held in Abuja.
“The 2020 budget preparation process is well-underway, and we intend to finalise and submit the 2020 appropriation bill to the National Assembly by the end of this month.” Ahmed said,
It will be recalled that the senate President Lawan Ahmed had urged the executive arm to present the proposals early enough for the National Assembly to pass the appropriation bill by December this year.
