The Nasarawa State House of Assembly on Friday passed the N402.5 billion 2025 Appropriation Bill.
Recall that Governor Abdullahi Sule had on November 29 presented a budget of N382.5 billion to the Assembly for consideration.
The House, however, increased the ‘Budget of Economic Growth and Stability’ by N20 billion.
