The House of Representatives on Tuesday 19^th February 2019 suspended plenary till 2^nd April 2019, to allow the committees organise budget defence sessions for ‎Federal Government’s ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).

It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had formally presented the 2019 budget proposal of N8.83 trillion at a joint session of the National Assembly on Wednesday 19, December 2018. Despite the House’s referral of the budget to its committee on Appropriations and all standing committees on Tuesday, 29^th January 2019 thorough scrutiny on the bill had been ignored due to the February 23^rd and March 9^th 2019 General Elections.
