PRESIDENT BUHARI PRESENTS 2016 BUDGET TO NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday morning arrived the National Assembly chamber to present the 2016 National Budget to a joint session of the parliament.
The presentation was started with a rendition of the National Anthem followed by a prayer said by adherents of Nigeria’s two major religions.
While stating that the 2016 budget would focus on addressing youth unemployment and cater for the vulnerable, President Buhari said that Nigeria remains committed to diversification to build and reflate the economy.
He stated that there would be changes in the way government conducts its business as all MDAs would be required to prepare and present their annual budgets on time. “We will align fiscal, monetary and investment policies,” said the President.
