The Nasarawa State House of Assembly yesterday passed into law the 2021 supplementary budget proposal of N5.98 billion sent to it by the state Governor, Abdullahi Sule.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi, announced the passage of the supplementary budget bill into law after the Majority Leader, Tanko Tunga, moved a motion to that effect during the Assembly proceedings in Lafia, the state capital, yesterday.
Abdullahi, therefore, commended members of the state Assembly for their commitment in ensuring the speedy passage of the bill into law.
The Speaker continued that the supplementary bill, if assented to by the state governor, would ensure the completion of ongoing projects being executed by the present administration in the state.
According to Abdullahi, “The total size of the supplementary budget stands at N5, 975, 076, 812.86, with a recurrent expenditure of N3, 620, 618, 735.86, while the capital expenditure is N2, 354, 458, 077.
He consequently directed the clerk of the Assembly to produce a clean copy of the bill for the governor’s assent.
