Members of the Senate at the plenary on Tuesday condemned the 2018 Appropriation Bill presented to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The senators accused the Buhari led administration of not showing the seriousness the budget proposal deserves.

The lawmaker also condemned the alleged lackadaisical attitude of heads of ministries, departments, and agencies of the Federal Government to budget defence sessions organised by the National Assembly.

The senators pointed out that the December target for passing the budget was feasible, blaming it on poor implementation of the 2017 budget.

‘There is no good coordination between the executive and the legislative. The MDAs are not ready for the budget defence, most MDA heads are out of the Country’- Senator @lanretejuoso.

“Truly it is very disappointing and disheartening to hear the various experiences of the committees, how can anybody in the executive be so irresponsible to pick this period of time to be travelling, they’ve had all time to travel”-Senate President @bukolasaraki
