The National Assembly will today resume plenary sessions with the scrutiny of President Bola Tinubu’s ₦58.47tn 2026 Appropriation Bill and amendments to Nigeria’s electoral laws topping its legislative agenda. He said, “Now that we have resumed plenary, we will devote quality time to the scrutiny and passage of the 2026 Appropriation Bill valued at ₦58.47 trillion. “This will help us restore and maintain a budget cycle that annually starts from January and ends in December. We have started the review of the Electoral Act, 2022, clause by clause, to achieve this end. Reflecting on the lifespan of the 10th National Assembly, Bamidele noted that only 16 months remained out of its constitutionally prescribed 48 months, pledging that lawmakers would intensify reforms touching on governance, elections, and economic diversification.
