”They separately approved the request to extract N500bn from the 2022 Supplementary Appropriation Act to provide palliatives aimed at cushioning the effect of fuel subsidy removal.
“We salute both chambers of the National Assembly; the Senate, and the House of Representatives, for passing the 2022 supplementary budget.”
Matazu said that the action had further proven the importance of collectivity, saying, ” ‘If everyone is moving forward together, then success will take care of itself.
“We thank you all for prioritizing the growth of our nation at large, irrespective of your political differences, and personal diversities.
“Knowing that Nigeria is blessed with having such visionary leaders, taking a unanimous decision that further solidifies the pillar of progress of this country.
”It is a soothing balm of relief to every citizen, as this budget is understood to assuage the heavy financial burden on our dear nation.”
