Constitution 1973 § Article 84 — Supplementary and excess grants

Statutory text (English)

If in respect of any financial year it is found—
(a) that the amount authorized to be expended for a particular service for the current
financial year is insufficient, or that a need has arisen for expenditure upon some
new service not included in the Annual Budget Statement for that year; or
(b) that any money has been spent on any service during a financial year in excess
of the amount granted for that service for that year;
the Federal Government shall have power to authorize expenditure from the Federal
Consolidated Fund, whether the expenditure is charged by the Constitution upon that Fund or
not, and shall cause to be laid before the National Assembly a Supplementary Budget Statement
or, as the case may be, an Excess Budget Statement, setting out the amount of that expenditure,
and the provisions of Articles 80 to 83 shall apply to those statements as they apply to the
Annual Budget Statement.
