Security beefed up at NASS as Buhari presents N19.76trn 2023 budget

Security has been beefed up at the main gates to the National Assembly complex as President Muhammadu Buhari presents the 2023 budget estimate of N19.76 trillion to a joint session of the Assembly.

A crop of security agents including the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Department of State Services (DSS), and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) were seen manning the entrances to the complex on Friday.

Only accredited journalists with tags, covering the assembly and essential staff of the national assembly were granted access to the building.

The budget presentation will begin by 10 a.m at the temporary chamber of the House of Representatives.
