Senate President Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday, directed the Senate Committee on Appropriations to submit report on the N895billion Supplementary Budget unfailingly on Wednesday.

The directive by Lawan followed a request by Chairman Senate Committee on Appropriations, Barau Jibrin, for more time to enable the panel conclude its work.

Lawan noted that it is unnecessary for the committee to ask for more time since the supplementary budget only pertains to two sectors of security and health.

He said the report need be submitted in view of myriads of other Bills and reports that require the Senate’s attention at this time.
