The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Thursday expressed hope the upper legislative chamber would pass the 2026 Appropriation Bill on March 31.
He also confirmed the adjournment of plenary for the Sallah break.
Akpabio disclosed this during Thursday’s plenary, saying committee work, particularly the ongoing budget defence sessions, would continue during the break.
He said: “I hope the Leader will put pressure on the Committee on Appropriations to harmonise the report of the 2026 Appropriation by that date.
“This is so that when we resume, we can try our best to pass the budget and avoid any further concurrence or harmonisation between both chambers.

“Leadership must work together to ensure everything is in order. The House of Representatives has already adjourned plenary to conclude the budget process.
“They will also meet on March 31. On that day, we hope to pass the national budget, and what they pass must be in tandem with ours.
“So the leadership must ensure this happens and work with colleagues in the House of Representatives to achieve it,” the Senate President stated.
