Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, also known as Yayi, has been making waves in the Senate, particularly with his role as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations. Recently, he presided over the committee to receive reports from various Senate Committees on the 2025 Appropriation Bill.

The committee has a tight deadline to submit their report, with only about 9 days left to present it to the whole house for approval. If everything goes as planned, the tentative date for the passage of the N49.7 trillion budget for the 2025 fiscal year is January 31st.

As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Yayi plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s budget and ensuring that it aligns with the government’s priorities. His experience as a chartered accountant and his background in politics, having served in various capacities, including as a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly and the Federal Legislature, make him well-suited for this role.
