From Godwin Tsa, Abuja
A former member of the House of Representatives, Robinson Uwak has congratulated President Bola Tinubu and his team for the successful presentation of the 2024 Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly for consideration.
The budget estimate of N27.5 trillion, which is christened “A Budget of Renewed Hope”, has placed priorities on security, economy, education and poverty alleviation.
This, Robinson Uwak says will impact positively in the lives of the citizens of Nigeria and kickstart the economy.
Uwak said the unprecedented figures were set to create activities that would generate jobs for Nigerians.
Explaining how the budget will impact Nigerians, Uwak said with expenditure in security and defence, more farmers would be able to return to their farms to produce foods, while human capital expenditure would continue to strengthen other areas of national development.
While expressing optimism that more activities in infrastructure and economy would be witnessed soon, he commended the National Assembly for their quick attention to the budget.
“We believe that the effective implementation of the budget will ensure value for money and measurable growth and overall wellbeing of Nigerians,” he said.
“After the budget presentation, we saw the expeditious action by the National Assembly to pass it through the second reading, thus providing hope of an early passage and implementation.”
