Barring any last-minute twist, President Bola Tinubu has just arrived at the National Assembly Complex with his entourage to present the 2025 budget proposal before a joint session of parliament.
The Federal Executive Council on Monday approved the N47.96tn budget estimate for the 2025 fiscal year.
Consequently, security agents, including operatives of the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Sergeant-At-Arms, and the Federal Road Safety Corps, are restricting access to the complex, assuring that only those with legitimate business related to the proposed budget presentation are allowed entry through the gates.
Staff members of the National Assembly providing clerical and other auxiliary services were on Tuesday instructed to remain at home until the President’s visit was over.
More to come…
