Senate president, Ahmad Lawan urged the Executives to work on the estimates for the 2021 budget to ensure its timely presentation to the National Assembly by the end of September this year.
Lawan stated this in his remarks after referring President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2021 – 2023 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper request to the Senate Committees on Finance; and National Planning for further legislative work.
The Senate President while charging both Committees to engage the Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning on the MTEF/FSP request, spoke on the need for the panel to give its support where necessary to Revenue Generating Agencies towards meeting expected revenue targets.
"We need to ensure that they have all the support that they require from the National Assembly, particularly the Senate to meet their targets".
The Committees were given four weeks to report back to the Senate.
