Niger assembly passes 2025 budget of N1.5trillion
The Niger State House of Assembly has passed the 2025 budget estimate of N1.5trillion to the governor for assent.
Chairman, House Committee on Planning and Appropriation, Zubairu Ismaila, who presented the report during plenary in Minna on Thursday, said the committee made some adjustments to the budget.
Mr Ismaila said that the adjustments did not affect the overall budget size, but rather re-allocated funds to various sectors.
He said the committee observed that the submission of the budget was late, resulting in hasty scrutiny to ensure speedy passage.
He urged the executive arm to submit the budget to the legislature at least three months before the end of the year for proper scrutiny and timely passage.
The state governor, Umaru Bago, presented the budget proposal to the House on December 12.
