The letter was read during Wednesday’s plenary session by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
According to the Senate President, the proposed increase stems from additional revenues as follows:
N1.4 trillion from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)

Senate President Akpabio directed the request to the Senate Committee on Finance and Appropriations for swift consideration, adding that the budget deliberation would be concluded and passed before the end of February.
