The Senate deemed it necessary to extend capital projects in order to avoid the issue of abandoned projects.
The Ministry of Agriculture will receive N69 billion, the Ministry of Water Resources will receive N15.5 billion, the Federal Capital Territory will receive N30 billion, and the Ministry of Works and Housing will receive N704 billion, according to a breakdown of the supplementary budget in the report by the Committee of Finance.
