President Buhari Signs 2016 Budget

President Muhammadu Buhari has finally signed the 2016
budget.
Buhari’s assent finally brings an end to the controversy
surrounding the budget.
The National Assembly had in April transmitted details of
the budget to the president after it had passed the bill on
March 23, but the President returned the document back,
citing omission of certain capital projects. This was
worked on and sent back, but again the Presidency
refused to sign.

Recall that the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee
on Media and Public Affairs, Jonathan Gaza, yesterday
said the corrected version of the 2016 budget has been
resent to the President for consideration.
Speaking with journalists at the National Assembly
complex, Gaza said the budget was transmitted to the
Presidency through the Special Assistant to the President
on National Assembly Matters, Senate, Senator Ita Enang.
Available report has, however, revealed that all grey areas
have now been addressed and the budget has been
signed.
