would hopefully be ready for President Buhari to sign into law
next week. Lawan disclosed this when he spoke to state
house correpsondents after he had a closed door meeting
with President Buhari.
According to Lawan, the search carried out at the home of
Senate Chairman on Appropriation, Danjuma Goje, and the
allegedly carting away of some documents relating to the
budget, are some of the factors that have caused the delay
of the passage of the budget by the senate.
"This and other things that happened and essentially, the
trauma that the Chairman, Senate Committee on
Appropriation had to go through, affected the process of
budgeting. When we were going on Easter recess, members
of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, including that of
the House, did not go on recess. They stayed back because
that was the arrangement so that by the time we returned on
April 25, that was Tuesday, they should lay the report of the
budget. Unfortunately, that was not possible because of what
happened. But the good news is that we are doing everything
possible to ensure that we catch up with the lost time. By the
grace of God, I am thinking that by next week, we should be
able to finish our own work and and pass the budget for Mr
President to sign"he said
