As controversy continues to trail the emergence of a new version of the 2016 budget, facts have emerged over how the original budget was withdrawn and taken to a highbrow hotel in Abuja, where the document was doctored by highly placed government officials and civil servants. On Thursday, during plenary, Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, openly accused the Senior Special Assistant to the President (Senate), Senator Ita Enang of doctoring and circulating fake copies of the budget proposals. Consequently, the Senate vowed not to work on the fake document until it receives an electronic copy of the original budget. It was gathered that the alterations of the budget document were done in the House of Representatives, but the House officials were quick to intercept the doctored version and insist on the circulation of the original proposals as submitted by the President. Issues surrounding the 2016 budget came to limelight on Tuesday when it emerged that the proposal as submitted by the President could not be traced. The discovery prompted the Senate into a closed-door session following which the Senate Committee on Ethics was mandated to investigate the issue. The issue also led the President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari same Tuesday afternoon. Based on the allegations, Nigerian Pilot Saturday went to town to unearth what happened.

If this is true then I doubt if the president instituted this, whoever was responsible for this happening will receive his or her hammer soon

Bull.ari is a DISGRACE to Humanity.

I hope PMB will not seat Down and believe only His aides. As more revelations are coming out with facts, he needs to probe this as a matter of Urgency

Una wan deceive us ..

Who will want a budget doctored if not the President

Of what use will a doctored budget benefit Ita Enang

So how and who took d budget to a hotel ? This report get as e be sha

70/30 for recurrent /capital ratio looks good on paper but the devil is the the detail.
Nigerian budgets over the years,have being nothing but a useless piece of paper used by the self serving civil service and absolutely corrupt federal government to steal and destroy.
it is noteworthy that for once, We have an administration with some mechanism to detect foul play and to react to what was detected by citizens, civil society and external bodies.
Money for lubricant and fuel?
I smell wasteful spending and avenues for corruption right there.
Money for websites updates.
That depends on the scale of the website and on the type of updates you are doing.
I have friends overseas who have worked on websites running into $500 million.
Some cost billions of dollars to run e.g Google
However, those kind of spending are absolutely unnecessary considering the poverty in the land, the lack of infrastructure and the wreckage left behind by the last administration.
This is reason why the government has to publish every needle in the budget.

This government has no shame.

like somebody said, buari govt is govt of d dullards by d dullards n for d dullards. a whole national budget edited in a hotel. abeg who get guiness world records director phone numba

no mind dem, dem wan make ita enang their sacrificial scape goat. doctoring of national budget is not possible without buari's approval. he instructed his ninja to steal a national budget for doctoring.

When PDP was in power,their sympathizers defended all forms of curruption by those in power,now watch as APC supporters come here now and defend corruption and other forms of corruption perpetrated by this administration in coming days.Simple reasons we are where we are today. #Hypocrisy

Buhari probe himself?
If you think Buhari isn't involved in this, then you need to think harder.
There's no way whoever did this would have been bold enough to pull off this heinous act without the backing of the president except if Buhari isn't the hard incorrigible element he presents himself to be.
