The N46 billion supplementary budget, which was earlier sent back to the Lagos governor, Babatunde Fashola by state lawmakers, on Friday scaled through a second reading in the House.

The lawmakers agreed to allow the bill to pass through after the Clerk of the House, Adewale Olatunji, read a letter from the Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget during a special session held to mark the Assembly’s third anniversary..

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the House on Thursday sent back the N46 billion supplementary budget it received from Fashola on Tuesday, asking for more clarification, after observing a discrepancy of N11 billion.

NAN reports that the letter from the executive arm cleared the confusion, as the lawmakers unanimously agreed that there was no need to begin a fresh debate on the supplementary appropriation bill.
