    The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I Jibrin, has expressed optimism that the 2025 budget will revolutionize Nigeria if fully implemented.

    Speaking during the debate on the Second Reading of the 2025 Budget Estimate, Jibrin commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his political will to bring prosperity to the country.

    The proposed budget, tagged “Budget of Restoration: Securing Peace, Rebuilding Prosperity,” allocates N4.91 trillion to defense and security, the highest allocation, to tackle insecurity. Jibrin emphasized that peace is essential for a sound economy and society.

    To stimulate economic growth, the government plans to provide necessary infrastructure, including good roads, water, and power supply.
