The committee adopted the bill during a budget hearing with RMAFC management, led by its Chairman, Mr Mohammed Shehu, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Presenting the budget, Shehu said N20.6 billion was allocated for personnel costs, while N8.9 billion was earmarked for overhead expenses.
He stated that N75.5 billion, representing 71.8 per cent of the total, was designated for capital projects.
Shehu commended the committee for spearheading the recent amendment of the RMAFC Act, saying it had enhanced the commission’s effectiveness.
Committee Chairman, Rep. James Faleke (APC–Lagos), said the committee reviewed the estimates and was satisfied with the proposed budget.
He assured that the committee would, through its oversight role, monitor full implementation of the budget.
Following adoption, the bill will be sent to the Committee of the Whole for third reading and onward transmission to President Bola Tinubu for assent. (NAN)
