National Assembly Joint Committee on electoral matters said it will reconvene on August 27, after the Sallah holiday, to finalise its consideration of the 2019 budget bill of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2019 polls.
The Committee Chairman, Suleiman Nasif in a statement explained that the harmonized version of the budget bill will be considered and sent for further legislative action.
Before adjourning the committee last week, Nasif said that work had reached an advanced stage on the budget bill, adding that they were mindful of the need for the budget to be ready on time for the 2019 polls.
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, had said that the National Assembly will reconvene after the joint committees on appropriation and electoral matters complete their work on the INEC budget.
