The Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, has said the 2025 budget submitted by President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday would take the country to its prosperous destination.
Senator Jibrin said the budget had a lot of goodies. He noted, however, that the potential of the budget can be maximized if the federal government is given all needed support.
The Deputy Senate President stated this on Thursday during plenary. He called on committees to work towards ensuring early passage of the budget.
“The budget has a lot of goodies when we all work together and support the executive arm of government because it’s not an issue about our government alone. It’s an all-inclusive arrangement.
“We should all be part of the whole thing. The citizens should also be part of it.
“For us here, we need to oversight properly. All our relevant committees should work to make sure that when this budget passes, we keep all those responsible for the implementation of whatever is in this budget on their toes so that they work in the best manner possible to actualize what is in this budget – one of the best budgets we have produced in this country,” he said.
He assured that the 2025 budget would address the country’s plethora of problems when effectively implemented.
“But now, what we need to do after the passage is to make sure that we do all that is humanly possible to ensure that it’s fully implemented.
“I’m sure by the time we implement this budget, this country will turn into the land of El Dorado,” he added.
