The 2016 budget will not be passed today as promised by the National Assembly. It will now be passed on Tuesday, according to Senate leader Ali Ndume.
The Appropriation Committees of the two chambers at a news conference last week promised that the N6.08 trillion 2016 budget presented by President Muhammadu Buhari on December 22, 2015, will be passed today.
The initial date of February 25 to pass the budget failed. Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, told reporters in Abuja yesterday that the budget will be “laid” today.
