By The House of Representatives has corrected errors in the recurrent (non-debt) component of the N54.99 trillion 2025 Appropriation Bill, which was passed last Thursday.
The corrections followed a motion for rescission moved by Hon. Francis Waive (APC, Delta), chairman of the House Committee on Rules and Business, during Tuesday’s plenary session.
Waive explained that both the House and Senate had passed the budget on February 13, 2025. However, a final review ahead of its transmission to the Executive revealed discrepancies.
The Joint Committee on Appropriations discovered errors in the allocations during the final cleaning and realignment process, prompting the need for urgent amendments.
The adjustments ensure that the budget is accurate before it reaches the President for assent.
With the corrections made, lawmakers aim to prevent complications in the implementation of the 2025 budget.
