The Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, has revealed that the Bola Tinubu-led government is finalizing a N6.6 trillion supplementary budget, which will be submitted to the National Assembly following its resumption on July 2.
According to him, the proposed supplementary budget aims to fund several key transformational projects across the country.
Among the highlighted projects are the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road and the proposed Sokoto-Badagry Road.
He further stated that the budget will allocate funds for the completion of all ongoing railway projects that currently lack counterpart funding.
