The 2022 Appropriation Bill will be passed on Dec. 14, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has said.

Mr Lawan, who made the announcement during plenary on Tuesday said that this was to enable the upper chamber to maintain the January to December budget cycle.

He said that it was essential for the senate to stick to its timetable otherwise “they may run into serious problems”.

Mr Lawan, while noting however that there was delay on the part of other committees, urged them to work expeditiously to meet up with the scheduled date.

“We have a little bit of delay. We are behind schedule with some of our committees. So I’m sure those committees that should have appeared before the Committee on Appropriation but could not; may have had some challenges with getting some details from the MDAs.

“Tomorrow (Wednesday), no matter what, they have to conclude with the budget defense by the sub-committees before the Committee on Appropriation.
