The build-up began hours before the 3pm session, with security measures stepped up to control movement and prepare for the President’s arrival.
The action is taking place at the National Assembly complex in Abuja, covering the main gate, villa gate, visitors’ park, and other access points.
The security clampdown is meant to maintain order, prevent crowding, and ensure safety during the high-profile budget session.
Only individuals carrying special 2026 budget tags are allowed into the complex, as regular National Assembly passes were suspended, forcing journalists and visitors to secure fresh clearance before entry.
