The Senate and the House of Representatives, have received the
report of their respective Appropriations Committees on the 2016 budget
following weeks of adjournment. The report was received on Tuesday by
the two chambers.
The report was submitted to the Senate by Danjuma Goje (APC-Gombe),
who chaired the Committee on Appropriations. While Abdulmumin Jibrin,
also submitted the report to the lower legislative body.
Accordingly, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, revealed that the
budget would be passed this week and would be transmitted to President
Muhammadu Buhari for assent.
The House hurriedly adjourned after receiving the budget report
from Mr. Jibrin in honour of Musa Onwana (APC-Nasarawa State) who died
last Thursday at the age of 50.
The N6.08 trillion budget was presented to a joint session of the
National Assembly in December 2015 but was delayed due to massive errors
and discrepancies which brought ridicule to the Muhammadu Buhari-led
government.
