    "content": "Revenue Act. The Appropriation Bill is crucial as it authorizes the national Government to withdraw money from the Consolidated Fund for the expenditure of the national government. Consequently, the timely passage of the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 7 of 2021) is critical as it will inform the Annual Budget Estimates and the Appropriation Bill. This is the reason for convening this Special Sitting and as provided in Standing Order No.137 (2), we shall consider the Bill at Second Reading, Committee of the Whole and the Third Reading. In accordance with Standing Order No.30(5), the business specified in the Gazette Notice, and as outlined in the Order Paper shall be the only business before the Senate during the Special Sitting, following which the Senate shall stand adjourned until Tuesday, 11th May, 2021, at 10.00 a.m. in accordance with the Senate Calendar. I thank you. Before we do that, just like I have said, we shall adjourn until May, I would like to take this opportunity to give Sen. Abdulkadir Mohamed Haji an opportunity to make his maiden speech before we proceed."
