The Principal Officers of the National Assembly have convened a special session to consider the budget for the 2019 general election.

 

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, are jointly presiding over the session.

 

Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, led by its Chairman, Professor Mahmud Yakubu, are also in attendance.

 

You will recall that the National Assembly embarked on its annual vacation until late September without considering the request by President Muhammadu Buhari to adjust the 2018 Budget to provide part of the two hundred and forty-two billion naira request for INEC and the security agencies to cover the cost of the next general election.
