The House of Representatives has stepped down further debate on the 2019 Appropriation Bill.
Speaker Yakubu Dogara said the outcome of the reconciliation meeting with officials of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Budget and National Planning and the Budget Office was not ready.
He, however, expressed hope that the reconciliation would be concluded on time for further legislative work to continue by Tuesday.
As a result, he said further debate would be postponed to Tuesday.
Recall that a number error in figures for some Ministries, Departments and Agencies forced the lawmakers into restricted comments on the budget document on Wednesday.
