Federal Government Defends Constitutional Legitimacy of Budget Re-enactment
The Attorney-General says the National Assembly can repeal and re-enact budgets as a ‘clean slate’ approach to reduce legal risk and improve transparency.
Further reporting across multiple outlets indicates the development is drawing heightened attention, with stakeholders watching for next steps from relevant authorities and institutions.
Echotitbits take: This ‘clean slate’ approach to budgeting is a tactical move to prevent the executive-legislative friction seen in previous years. The success of this N48.31 trillion plan will depend entirely on the transparency of the newly introduced ‘Renewed Hope’ ward projects.
