2019 Budget

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Wednesday, December 19, 2019, presented the N8.83 trillion budget for the 2019 fiscal year to both chambers of the National Assembly.

Debate on the general principles of the bill by the national assembly was delayed due to conduct of the recently concluded general elections.

The bill was thereafter laid in plenary on April 17, 2019, by the Senate Committee on Appropriation after failing to meet several deadlines for its submission with the hope that it would be passed on April 24.

The 2019 budget estimate is N300 billion lower than the N9.1 billion being implemented for the current fiscal year.

The budget is based on an oil production estimate of 2.3 million barrels per day and an exchange rate of N305 per dollar.
