The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has revealed that part of the 2023 proposed N19.76 trillion budget can still be altered by Federal Executive Council, FEC, before Friday.
This development comes after today’s FEC meeting which was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Presidential aide who briefed State House correspondents on the outcome of the meeting said FEC members discussed the proposed budget extensively, and part of its provisions including the revised 2023-2025 fiscal framework, expenditure profile, budget proposal, capital and aggregate expenditure, overhead cost and personnel cost among others can still be altered before the final approved copy is presented on Friday.
Adesina stated that the Council meeting predominantly focused on a single item which is the 2023 appropriation bill, and it would be inappropriate to divulge details of it, as a mark of respect to the National Assembly.
