President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will formally present the 2025 budget to both chambers of the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, made this disclosure on Thursday during the Senate plenary session.
Checks revealed that both the Senate and the House of Representatives separately passed the 2025–2027 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) last week.
The nation’s budget is typically predicated on the approved MTEF/FSP framework. The framework approved by the Senate details a total spending of ₦47.9 trillion for 2025 and includes a new borrowing plan of ₦9.22 trillion, comprising both domestic and foreign borrowings.
