Hon. Patrick Umoh, representing Ikot Ekpene/Essien Udim/Obot Akara Federal Constituency, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for presenting the 2025 budget proposal. Umoh described the proposal as an “ambitious budgetary proposal” that aligns with the President’s renewed hope agenda.
“I must commend President Bola Tinubu for this courage to come up with this budget of national consolidation. Yes, it is in line with the renewed hope agenda,” Umoh said. He also noted that the budget will consolidate on the budget performance index of 2024.
Umoh expressed excitement over the budget presentation and called on Ministries and Government agencies to cooperate with the parliament to bring the budget to fruition. He also urged Nigerians to be patient with President Tinubu, who has achieved significant milestones in just eighteen months in office.
“I know there is pressure on our economy, but I am very happy with the steps President Bola Tinubu is taking to address issues. He is doing his very best, and I assure all Nigerians that things will get better with Tinubu on the saddle,” Umoh said.
President Tinubu presented a N47.96 trillion budget proposal to a joint session of the National Assembly, prioritizing defense and infrastructure.
