President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to the National Assembly to consider and approve N895billion as Supplementary Budget.
President Buhari made the appeal through a letter of request read on the floor during plenary by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan on Tuesday.
Recall that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) had earlier approved the amount.
A substantial part of the fund has been earmarked for procurement of military hardware to prosecute the war against insurgency and banditry.
The Federal Government is also expected to use part of the fund for purchase of COVID-19 vaccines and other health related needs.
