he National Assembly on Thursday transmitted the details of the budget to the President and before leaving for China, he directed that the ministers should review the provisions of their respective ministry to fast-track the process. The document was distributed same Thursday to all ministers ahead of Friday’s Federal Executive Council meeting in order to get everything sorted out for the President’s assent. Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, who is the Head of the Economic Team, presided over the meeting. However, at the meeting, the ministers noticed that some key aspects of the budget, which have to do with government’s core infrastructure focus, were removed and the monies slated for them were applied elsewhere. For instance, contrary to the budget proposed by President Buhari for the Lagos-Calabar rail project, the National Assembly scrapped the project which the President had earmarked N80 billion for.http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/04/10/national-assembly-scraps-calabar-lagos-rail-project-applies-budget-to-the-north/
