While it was not clear whether members will passed the same amount into law, the House majority Leader, Umar Tanko Tunga, assured that the Wednesday dateline would be achieved.
He attributed the delay in the passage of the budget to one month strike embarked by the labour union and the misunderstanding that erupted sittings in the house.
