The attention of the Secretary, Reseach and Information, (SRI), National Assembly, Dr. Ali Barde Umoru has been drawn to the purported fake news credited to him, alleging that His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will tomorrow Wednesday present the 2025 budget to the join session of the National Assembly.
The SRI described as false, the said news circulating on both social and mainstream media, and other outlets urging members of the public to disregard such information.
The secretary advised that any official enquiry and clarification should follow the official communication channels of the National Assembly.
He said the National Assembly is yet to approve the 2024-2026 Medium Term Expenditure Framework MTEF and Fiscal Strategy Paper, forwarded to both chambers of the national assembly by Mr. President, before the official presentation of the 2025 budget.
In view of the above, the SRI warns peddlers of such information to desist forthwith from using his office to mislead members of the public .
