The House of Representatives has passed the N1.738 trillion 2025 budget proposal for the Federal Capital Territory at its second reading.
Presented on Tuesday by the House Leader, Professor Julius Ihonvre, and seconded by Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda, the bill reflects the FCT’s financial plan for the coming year.
The budget was originally submitted to the House by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a letter addressed to Speaker Abbas Tajuddeen, who presided over Tuesday’s plenary. After the presentation, the Speaker put the bill to a voice vote, securing its approval by the House.
The bill has now been referred to the House Committees on Federal Capital Territory and FCT Area Councils and Ancillary Matters for further legislative review and action.
