Security has been beefed up at the National Assembly Complex ahead of the presentation of the 2025 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The budget presentation, which was earlier slated to be held on Tuesday, December 17, was shifted to Wednesday, December 18.
All business operators and ancillary service providers like banks and food vendors have been told not to open for business by the management of the complex, given the budget presentation.
Visitors, non-essential staff, and members of the National Assembly have also been told to stay at home till after the presentation of the budget.
