President Muhammadu Buhari will next Tuesday next present N6trillion budget proposal to the National Assembly.
The planned presentation has compelled the senate to shift its earlier plan to proceed on Christmas break from tomorrow to next Tuesday.
This decision was arrived at a one-hour closed door session  before the commencement of plenary today after an earlier consideration of Friday as a suitable date for the presentation.
Tuesday was later considered to be more suitable because the Joint National Assembly Committee on Finance, Appropriation and National Assembly is yet to conclude legislation on the Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Policy.
