President Muhammadu Buhari will on Thursday present the 2021 budget estimate at a Joint session of both chambers of the National Assembly.
The announcement was made following receipt of a letter from the President which was read during plenary by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday.
The letter reads: “May I crave the kind indulgence of the Distinguished Senate to grant me the slot of 11:00hrs on Thursday, 8th October, 2020, to formally present the 2021 Appropriation bill to the Joint Session of the National Assembly.
“While I look forward to addressing the Joint session, please, accept Mr. Senate President, the assurances of my highest regard.”
There are indications that the federal government has proposed to spend the total sum of N13.09 trillion naira in the 2021 fiscal year.
