Buhari To Sign Budget Wednesday

A presidential source has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari will sign the 2018 budget into law on Wednesday by 11am.

Recall Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, had told state house correspondents that the president would sign the budget this week.

It should also be recalled that two weeks ago, Udoma Udoma, minister of budget and national planning, said the president had not signed the budget because he was still studying it.

The national assembly passed the budget in May, jerking it up from N8.6 trillion to N9.1 trillion.

Meanwhile, this week’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting has been cancelled, this is due to the celebration of Sallah, marking the end of the Ramadan month.
