The Senate Monday gave expeditious consideration to the 2022-2024 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) forwarded to it by President Muhammadu Buhari for approval and set Thursday for its passage.

Reports states that a major highlight of the request is the budget proposal of N13.98trillion for the 2022 fiscal year.

At the beginning of plenary, Senate President Ahmad Lawan read a letter from President Buhari detailing the request.

However, on the strength of Order 1(b) of the Senate Standing Rules, Senate Leader Yahaya Abdullahi moved a motion for consideration of the request immediately by forwarding it to relevant committees for required legislative inputs between Tuesday and Wednesday and submission of report Thursday.

Upon secondment of the motion by Senate Minority Leader Enyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia ), Senate President Lawan put it to voice votes with the Ayes having it.

Accordingly, Lawan referred the documents to Senate joint Committees on Finance, National Planning, Banking, Petroleum (Upstream), Petroleum (Downstream) and Foreign and Local Debts for required consideration at the committee level.

“This is an important request from the President that must be considered and approved before we proceed on long recess Thursday this week.

“Therefore, the joint committees which is to be led by the Committee on Finance, should use Tuesday and Wednesday to work on the request and submit report for final consideration and approval on Thursday,” he said.

Before forwarding the request for Senate for approval, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) deliberated on the document last week Wednesday putting    N9.16 trillion as projected revenue generation.

The council also authorised the funding of a N5.26 trillion budget deficit through borrowings.

What finance minister said

Specifically, Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning Zainab Ahmed told State House correspondents that: “The goal for us is to improve the nation’s macro economic situation or reposition the economy on the path of inclusive diversified as well as sustainable.

“The MTF FSP consists of medium term macro economic projections, fiscal targets and estimates of revenue and expenditure including government’s financial obligations.

“We have also presented to the federal government the projected revenues for the 2022 to 2024 specifically for 2022.

“The revenue that we expect is 6.54 trillion and 2.62 trillion to accrue to the Federation Account on VAT respectively. And then there will be a net oil and gas revenue available for the Federation Account (FAAC) for distribution will be N6.15 1 trillion in 2022.

“This revenue is projected to increase in 2023 to N9.15 trillion. The total expenditure that we are expecting we have projected and approved by Council is an aggregate expenditure of 13.98 trillion Naira which includes N1.1 trillion of government owned enterprises expenditure as well as grants and donor funds donor funded projects in the sum of 62.24 billion.

“This means that this budget is just 3% higher than the 2021 budget in terms of the size of expenditure.  We also reported to council the budget deficit and the financing items for the expenditure.

“The budget deficit that is projected for 2022 is 5.62 trillion, up from 5.60 trillion in 2021. This amount represents 3.05% of the estimated GDP, which is slightly above the 3% threshold that is specified in the Fiscal Responsibility Act
