According to Mr Njoku and Mr Badejoko, the lawmakers need enough time to approve the 27.5 trillion naira budget, to avoid loopholes and oversights.
They also called for more allocations for the Agricultural sector and strengthening the security sector with the allocated money.
Mr Njoku and Mr Badejoko, further called on the government to focus on the people’s welfare, and infrastructural development and reduce the cost of governance.
