“This Town Hall is important in promoting the integrity of the budgeting process,” he said.

Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday, November 29, 2023, presented the 2024 budget of 27 trillion naira to the national assembly.

Presenting the budget, the president said Nigeria’s national defence and internal security, local job creation, macro-economic stability, human capital development, social security, poverty reduction and investment environment optimization are some of the top priorities of the 2024 Budget of Renewed Hope.

Tinubu said the proposed budget prioritizes human capital development, with particular attention given to children because human capital remains the most critical resource for national development.

Meanwhile, the national assembly has vowed to ensure that the budget is passed by December 31, 2023.
