Last night, the much talked about 2017 budget was finally signed by the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo one month after it was passed.

Shortly after he signed it at the presidential villa, Osinbajo explained that the delay in the signing of the 2017 Appropriation Bill was due to disagreements between the executive and the National Assembly.

According to him, 'the final presentation and the signing of the budget has been considerably delayed.

This was largely due to disagreements we had about the changes introduced to our 2017 Budget proposals by the National Assembly”. He continued to say, 'the Executive took the view that the changes fundamentally affected some of our priority programmes and would make implementation extremely difficult and in some cases impossible.” He, however, said the disagreements were resolved and the leadership of the National Assembly promised to reinstate budgetary allocations for important executive projects.

I wonder how many yams are in that budget?

It was to be expected. Buhari sef refused to sign last year till he was sure. Osinbajo wouldn't sign the budget without checking just as he refused to assent to 4 bills sent by NASS during his first stint as acting President. He's no professor of law for nothing.

Now that the drama is over, I hope for a good level of implementation otherwise all the efforts na banza!!

same old $hit, just a different day...

It was delayed because he was looking for his back caftan

Until now, I never knew that 4PM qualifies as night.

He is probably angry about the vast sums the legislative budgeted for themselves.

The guys gulp billions of naira every year doing nothing.

The few that work, are below average.

A graduate trainee in any standard firm in Nigeria does ten times the work and collects 1% of their pay.

Mtcheew

Where is Buhari?..using arewa youth asking Igbo to leave to divert our mind ...APC is a scam

Osinbajo stop lying and giving flimsy excuses

Akuko!!!!
It's was delayed simply because the cabals no wan make a mere commissioner sign am

Cool, the Legislatures should not take the executive for a ride.

I hope we achieve greatly from this budget, obviously, it's the sixth month of the year, how can the budget be implemented even if it has been signed. We can do better naija!

ok

Delay or no delay yet the country isn't moving forward but backwards.. fvck budget. We all know it will enter polithiefcians pocket

The budget was already cooling feet in some people's bank accounts.

This pastoreeeee don learn to dey lie too.

Story

Oga leave story start work

Smh...If u see Hw Saraki was Smiling when Osinbajo was signing the Budget...He be Like"Chai,Money don Come oo"

I only wish you guys can stop your line of excuses and start working!

People are suffering!
Companies can't forecast based on the direction(if any has even been given self) given by the government
The economy is so unpredictable
Governors are reaping off theirs states
Our President has been earning his pension without a single contribution
...........not forgetting the list in incompetent hands on your board

Don't try to correct your mistakes, you're only making it worse.

Prof is really falling hands and eroding whatever goodwill we have for him.
Justifying failure only makes you inept and irresponsible. Both the executives and legislation are controlled by APC, so what are we talking about? Or do we blame PDP for this also?
Saner countries are submitting budget for 2018 by next month, we're celebrating the commencement of 2017 budget in June.
We have never had it soo bad.
