The Federal Executive Council, FEC, has endorsed the 2023 budget proposal for onward presentation to the National Assembly.

Femi Adesina, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, confirmed this when he addressed State House Correspondents after the Council meeting on Wednesday.

The meeting was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to the presidential aide, the president will lay the budget proposal before a joint sitting of the National Assembly on Friday.

Adesina, however, declined to give details of the Council’s decision, saying it’s a mark of respect for the National Assembly.
