Security, Job Creation, Poverty Reduction Top Priorities For 2024 Budget- President Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has said the security architecture will be overhauled to enhance law enforcement capabilities to safeguard lives, property, and investments nationwide.

The president said this at the presentation of the 27.5 trillion naira for the 2024 Budget of Renewed Hope to a joint session of the National Assembly in the temporary chamber of the House of Representatives.

Last week, the two chambers of the National Assembly passed the 2024–2026 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and the Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP), with a total spending of N26 trillion for the 2024 budget fiscal year and a borrowing plan of N7.8 trillion.

During his first budget presentation before parliament, the President said the proposed budget also prioritizes human capital development, macro-economic stability, poverty reduction, and social security, among others. Shortly after the presentation, the president departed Abuja to participate in the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

More reactions on the budget as the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) condemned the rendition of President Bola Tinubu’s campaign tune on the floor of the national assembly during the presentation of the 2024 budget.

After his presentation, lawmakers stood up as a symbol of respect, but the band was heard playing a popular song, his supporters’ anthem, during his campaign in the build-up to the election.

In a statement, the opposition party described the incident as an extremely sacrilegious and unpardonable assault by President Tinubu and his handlers on the sensibility and constitutional sovereignty of the Nigerian people as represented by the National Assembly.

It noted that the National Assembly is the symbol of the collective sovereignty of the Nigerian people, which cannot be appropriated by or surrendered to any individual under any guise or circumstance whatsoever.

The PDP also described the N27.5 trillion budget, as proposed by President Tinubu, as deceitful, strangulating, and hopeless.

Ologunagba declared that the budget is predicated and expected to be funded by multilateral and bilateral foreign loans and increased taxes on Nigerians.
