The Senate on Wednesday resolved to override President Muhammadu Buhari’s
veto on his rejection of a constitutional amendment bill.
The bill seeks to make it mandatory for the President and Governor of a state
to lay the annual budget estimates before parliament, three months to the end
of a financial year.
The Senate at plenary, also agreed it would override the President’s veto on the Industrial Development (Income Tax Relief) Amendment Bill.
It also said it would reconsider and pass the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill, Stamp Duties (Amendment) Bill and nine other bills earlier rejected by the President, and transmit them to him for assent.
The upper chamber equally resolved to withdraw four other bills rejected by the President and discontinue further legislative works on them.
