All Progressives Congress (APC) leader Adamu Garba asserted that the national budget under Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidency would increase from N50 to N100 trillion.
Garba made this assertion in a post on his verified Twitter account on Wednesday.
Remember that the 2023 appropriation bill was cleared by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, raising the N20.51 trillion budget estimates offered by President Muhammadu Buhari to N21.82 trillion.
The budget approved by the House, according to Garba, may appear large, but it will actually be little under the Tinubu/Shettima administration.
He wrote, “The National Assembly passed the N21.8Trn budget today. It may look big, but under the Tinubu/Shettima ticket, this can be small. You know why? Because their manifesto offers to localize our budget purely with Naira, not pegged against the dollar.
“We could have a N50-100Trn budget for Nigeria.”
