Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has justified an increase in the 2024 budget signed into law by President Bola Tinubu on Monday with an additional N1.2 trillion from the initial N27.5 trillion to N28.7 trillion
Akpabio who made the clarification while speaking with journalists shortly after Tinubu signed the appropriation bill into law on Monday at the State House in Abuja, said the additional money are meant to take care of security and school feeding programme across the country.
He stated that in the long run, Nigerians would benefit from the budget as there are verifiable justifications by the national assembly for increasing it.
