On Sunday, embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki announced he would release the 2016 National Assembly Budget, according to Premium Times.

The move appears to be in response to pressure from the Nigerian public.

It will be recalled that last week SaharaReporters reported on the decision of the Supreme Court to delay Mr. Saraki’s trial for false declaration assets.

Many in the Nigerian public found it unacceptable that the details of the National Assembly were kept secret, given that the entirety of the N150 billion budget comes from the Federal Account.  

In a statement on Sunday Mr. Saraki’s spokesperson, Bamikole Omishore stated that the release of the budget was intended to combat the “falsehoods” spread by the media.

When speaking to the media Mr. Saraki himself noted that the decision was part of, “the openness we promised”.

Welcome to transperency of Govt

I hereby welcome you to NEW NIGERIA



we are getting there.............

All na show...do not be deceived my people!!! these men are not what we think they are ooooo

This is a good step by the embattled Senate President. But I must pick issues with this useless, good for nothing ediots known as Sahara Reporters. Is it only Saraki that is in the entire government. When will they report on the frivolities of the first family. Or on the omonile activities of their partner, Tinubu. They better start applying some level of professionalism in their reportage, if they hope to outlast governments.

Saraki that is standing on 1 leg... his fate is not sure as senate president.

Good for democracy. If it were be the corrupt PDP in government they wouldn't have bothered to listing to voice of the masses! !!
