National Assembly Delays Resumption Until Feb 4 To Focus on 2025 Budget

The Senate and the House of Representatives have postponed their plenary resumption, previously scheduled for Tuesday, January 28, 2025, to Tuesday, February 4, 2025.

The two legislative chambers announced the development in separate statements on Friday.

The Clerk of the Senate, Andrew Nwoba, who informed senators of the shift in resumption date, said the postponement was due to the ongoing defense of the 2025 budget proposal by ministries, departments, and agencies.

President Bola Tinubu on December 18, 2024, presented 2025 ₦49.7tn budget proposal before a joint session of the National Assembly for approval.
