The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday, vowed that the Red Chamber would ensure that every naira spent from the 2025 budget impacts the lives of Nigerians. He, therefore, urged ministries, departments, and agencies, MDAs of government to align with this commitment.
Akpabio made this statement during the stakeholders’ session on the Appropriation Bill at the National Assembly in Abuja.
The stakeholders’ public hearing marked the involvement of the appropriation subcommittees, building on the earlier engagements of standing committees with the leadership of MDAs.
In his address, the Senate President described the 2025 fiscal policy, termed the “Budget of Restoration,” as “a strategic instrument to secure peace, ignite prosperity, and lay the cornerstone of a stronger, more resilient Nigeria.”
He viewed the session as an opportunity for the National Assembly to craft a budget that addresses immediate needs while also laying the foundation for a resilient and inclusive economy for future generations.
Akpabio elaborated: “The 2025 Budget of Restoration: Securing Peace, Rebuilding Prosperity is coming at a time when the country faces trials that would shake the resolve of lesser nations.”
