2024 Budget: The Renewed Hope For Nigerians – Tinubu
The President, who addressed a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja, charged both arms of the legislative arm to work assiduously and “conclude with reasonable dispatch”, their deliberations on the 2024 budget estimates of N27.5trn.
The President presented the 2024 budget proposal before the lawmakers on Wednesday noon.
Christened the ‘Budget of Renewed Hope’, Tinubu said, “I am confident that the National Assembly will continue to work closely with us to ensure that deliberations on the 2024 Budget are thorough but also concluded with reasonable dispatch. Our goal is for the Appropriation Act to come into effect on the 1st of January 2024.”
The budget, which is still being developed, is expected to focus on key areas such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education. Tinubu has emphasized the need for sustained investment in these areas in order to ensure that Nigeria can continue to develop and prosper in the years to come.
Of course, there are many challenges that lie ahead. Nigeria’s economy remains heavily reliant on oil exports, which are subject to volatile fluctuations in global markets. In addition, the country still faces significant social and political challenges, including ongoing tensions between different ethnic and religious groups.
Despite these challenges, however, Tinubu remains optimistic about Nigeria’s future. He believes that with the right policies and investments, the country can continue to grow and thrive. As he works to promote his vision for a brighter future, Tinubu will undoubtedly continue to be a key player in Nigeria’s political landscape.
