On Wednesday, the National Assembly approved the sum of N982 billion as the supplementary budget for 2021. While N123 billion was approved for recurrent (non-debt) expenditure, N895 billion was earmarked for capital expenditure.

While N936 million was allocated to the police to purchase uniforms and kits, N910 million was voted for allowances and salaries of trainees.
