Senate will debate 2019 budget on Wednesday —Saraki | Nairalaw

Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday, said that the
Senate would begin the debate on the 2019 Appropriation Bill on
Wednesday.

He made the announcement on the floor of the Red Chamber.

According to the verified Twitter handle of the Senate, “Senate
President, @bukolasaraki announces that the #2019Budget debate will
commence on Wednesday, March 13th, 2019.”

This is the first Senate sitting after the last governorship and
state Houses of Assembly elections.

The 2019 budget was presented in December 2018 by President
Muhammadu Buhari to a joint session of the Senate and House of
Representatives.

The Senate on Tuesday adjourned proceedings early, due to the
death of lawmaker representing ‎Lagelu/Akinyele Federal
Constituency, Oyo State, Mr Temitope Olatoye, alias Sugar, who was
shot in the head during Saturday’s election in his state.

He died at the UCH, Ibadan.
