Senate President, Bukola Saraki has said that the Senate was tired of having appropriation bills passed into law without full implementation.
Noting that the problem is hindering development, he stressed the need for all hands to be on deck to halt the trend.
Towards aiding full implementation, the Senate President said the 8th Senate would ensure that the 2017 budget is passed on time.
Saraki, who also assured that the National Assembly would conclude ongoing amendment of the 1999 Constitution early next year, spoke, on Thursday, in Abuja while presenting a keynote address at the 2016 Awards/Dinner for Senators and Journalists covering the Senate, organized by the Senate Press Corps.
