LAGOS, June 20 (Reuters) – Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari said on Wednesday he was concerned by some changes to the 2018 budget made by parliament.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!“The logic behind the Constitutional direction that budgets should be proposed by the Executive is that, it is the Executive that knows & defines its policies & projects,” said Buhari in a tweet.
Parliament passed the spending plan last month. The 9.12 trillion naira budget is higher than the 8.6 trillion naira plan presented to parliament by Buhari in November because lawmakers increased the assumed oil price to $51 per barrel, from $45.
