The Senate on Monday convened an emergency plenary session to gazette the N2 trillion 2023 Supplementary Budget passed last Thursday.
Also, the Red Chamber gazetted the screening and confirmation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) nominees.
Without approving the votes and proceedings of last week Thursday, the passed supplementary budget and confirmed RECs are of no effect.
The usual plenary days of the Red Chamber are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which align with its standing rules.
With the approval of the votes and proceedings of Thursday, a clean copy of the budget can be transmitted to Tinubu for assent.
The supplementary budget had controversial line items such as purchasing vehicles worth N1.5 billion and a presidential yacht at a staggering N5 billion.
Also, the REC nominees can now be sworn in and deployed to their respective states to commence work.
