Femi Gbajabiamila, House of Representatives Speaker, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is to present the 2023 budget to the National Assembly in October.
The speaker made this revelation on Wednesday after the inspection of hearing rooms 028 and 234 of the House.
The hearing rooms will be used as the temporary chamber due to the ongoing renovation of the House complex.
“I am hoping that the budget will be presented latest by first week of October”, NAN quoted him saying.
The legislator revealed that inauguration of the temporary chamber would be done before September 20, date scheduled for resumption of plenary.
“We will at the end of the day be proud to have a chamber that will match the best standard all over the world,” he said.
The speaker revealed that the renovation of the green chamber was largely for the benefit of the incoming 10th Assembly as it would be concluded in August 2023.
