Reps, during plenary
The House of Representatives has suspended plenary to April 2 to enable members engage Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) at committee level on the defence of 2019 budget proposal.
This followed the unanimous adoption of a motion by the Majority Leader of the House, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila at the plenary on Tuesday.
In his ruling, the Deputy Speaker of House, Rep. Yussuf Lassun (APC-Osun), urged all the standing committees to work and conclude budget defense before May.
He said that the 2019 Appropriation Bill should be ready for passage upon resumption of the House in May.
