The 10th Senate, under the leadership of Godswill Akpabio, is scheduled to approve the N2.18 trillion 2023 Supplementary Appropriation Bill on Thursday. President Bola Tinubu forwarded a letter to the Senate for their consideration earlier this week. The budgetary proposals within the bill were discussed and passed for a second reading during the plenary session.
The Committee on Appropriations was tasked with engaging with the heads of the concerned agencies to defend the proposed allocations. Senator Solomon Adeola, who chairs the committee, held extensive meetings with the heads of the seven affected agencies, working late into Wednesday evening. Speaking to the press, the lawmaker representing Ogun West senatorial district explained that the reports regarding the supplementary budget proposals would be presented to the Senate for the final review and passage on Thursday.
Adeola emphasized that the committee fulfilled its mandate promptly in line with the urgency of the situation and the necessity for the Senate, and by extension, the National Assembly, to approve the N2.17 trillion 2023 supplementary budget.

APC Fires Back at Adeleke Over ₦300bn LG Funds Allegation, Blames Governor for Salary Crisis....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to claims by Governor Ademola Adeleke that local government officials under the party diverted about ₦300 billion meant for workers’ salaries.
Adeleke had made the allegation during a stakeholders’ meeting, accusing APC-controlled council officials of hijacking funds and forcing the state government to shoulder salary payments for local government workers, teachers, health staff, and pensioners for over a year.
He insisted he would not abandon workers, blaming the situation for delays in executing some state projects.
But in a statement, APC’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, dismissed the claims, accusing the governor of misleading the public and shifting blame.
The party alleged that Adeleke was responsible for the salary issues, claiming he refused to release electronic payment vouchers and other financial documents needed for processing payments.
APC also said pension-related records, leave bonuses, cooperative deductions, and other financial data had not been made available despite repeated appeals, insisting that funds were properly accounted for and available for use if approved.
The party urged pensioners and workers to seek clarification, insisting the situation could be resolved if the governor allowed due process to take place.
