After rising from the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by VP Yemi Osinbajo, it has been revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to receive the corrected 2016 budget. The Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, on Wednesday revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari has not received the corrected version of the 2016 Budget details from the National Assembly.
She made the revelation while briefing State House correspondents at the end of a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
She said: “On the 2016 Budget, I must say that the Executive and Legislature have worked very hard putting things together, reviewing the details of the budget and it is at its final stage.
“So may be between today (Wednesday) and tomorrow (Thursday), the National Assembly will start the process of transmitting the details to the President,” she said.
Speaking further on what was discussed during the FEC Meeting, Ahmed said the government is working hard to settle the issues concerning the 2016 budget. She stressed that the 2016 budget will be beneficial to Nigerians as it would help in finding ways to create jobs and make life easy for Nigerians.
