President Bola Tinubu has unexpectedly postponed the highly anticipated presentation of the 2025 national budget, originally scheduled for Tuesday, to Wednesday, December 18, 2024. The N47.9 trillion budget, which was set to be unveiled before both houses of the National Assembly, has now been delayed, sparking quiet murmurs within the corridors of power.
Sources within the National Assembly, speaking to DAILY POST, confirmed the change but refrained from offering clear reasons for the sudden adjustment. A senior National Assembly official, however, assured that the new date for the presentation is “sacrosanct” and insisted there is no cause for concern.
Although no official explanation has been provided yet, the official stated that a formal announcement would be released in the coming hours to clarify the situation. For now, Nigerians are left to speculate on the rationale behind the last-minute postponement, though reassurances from the Assembly suggest the move is nothing more than a procedural adjustment.
