Nigerian Vice president Yemi Osinbajo, has received the 2017
budget. His Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu
Akande, announced this via twitter some minutes ago.
There is still some
controversy as to who would sign the budget. While Laolu took to his
twitter handle yesterday to say Osinbajo would assent to the budget when
he is satisfied with the content, the senior special assistant to
President Buhari on National Assembly matters, Ita Enang, told Channels
TV in an interview that the budget would be signed by Buhari who is in
the UK for a medical checkup.
Lai Mohammed had on Wednesday
told state house correspondents that when the budget will be sent to
the presidency, the issue of who would sign it would be addressed.
