The Senate on Wednesday passed a revised Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) sent to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.

The MTEF and FSP are parameters on which yearly Appropriation Bills are predicated.

In July, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) initially approved N13.98 trillion as proposed 2022 aggregate expenditure of the Federal Government prior to the passage of the PIA.
