President Muhammadu Buhari has transmitted a 2021 Supplementary Appropriation Bill of N895.842 billion to the Senate for passage into law.
Buhari says the amount captured in the bill was proposed to fund the COVID-19 vaccine programme.
He added that part of the supplementary budget would be used to also fund health-related expenditures for the treatment of additional 50,000 patients under Nigeria Comprehensive AIDS Programme in states and to procure additional equipment to tackle security challenges nationwide.
He says the supplementary budget will be funded through facilities sourced from the World Bank and available new facilities.
Buhari said the supplementary budget was promoted by the need to make provision for procurement and administration of COVlD-19 vaccines.
