We now have a National Assembly that is living up to it's responsibilities, unlike in the past where Budget is sent to them and they approve it without proper scrutiny. President Buhari should urgently look into this Budget mess and sack the culprits involved in the scam. As i expected, his cabinet made up of polithiefcians (huge mistake on his part) his destroying his govt with their fraud infested policies. President BUHARI act NOW!!!! Before your internationally recognised and much talked about INTEGRITY is rubbished by the thieves you surround yourself with..

Budget of corruption...






Buhari wants to pay rent to new landlord. grin grin grin
And he's the one calling Nigerians criminals when he's inventing new ways to loot the country's money. Anyway, that's what you get when you elect a 74 year old school cert holder as president...

Members of the National Assembly have suspended the passage of the 2016 budget indefinitely following the discrepancies in figures that has trailed the budget. NASS members had fixed February 25th as the date for the passage of the budget but have shelved it.

This new development was made known‎ at a joint press conference chaired by Sen. Danjuma Goje, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation and Abdulmumin Jibrin, Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation in Abuja today February 9th.

“We need sufficient time to pass a comprehensive budget that is implementable and also acceptable,” Jibrin said.

this is a strategy for Saraki to involve Nigerians in his battle for survival. Now that his fate is unsure as the senate president he wants to use his interim position to fight back by abandoning the budget process as if this is the first time they are experiencing this kind of situation in the NASS. Thank God this is happening. At least we know now that they can not do business as usual, if Buhari refuse to bribe them they will be forced to do the right thing and follow their conscience. Nigeria will be better for it at the end, i am sure there are more drama to come.

When ur in a hole u stop diging. From the beging it has been from one emberrassement to another. APC has shown unpreparedness. You had 2months when you won the election to set up ur team and come up with sound economic policies as it is clear the party policies is different from Buhari's ideology.

Mistake has been made.lots of them. Buhari shud just PAUSE, bring in sound economic technocrats to formulate his policies in line with his ideology cuz at the end of the day what we know is Buhari. Whip ur party into line.Sanction any sabotoure and let's see the austerity living from you as the president.Bcuz deep down I know Buhari might not have sanction those RENT fee and all those crap about N700 milla cabling to drivers corner. Cuz shit has already hit the fan.

i have taken my time to study the budget and all the conspiracies. It unfortunate that the presidency hurriedly submitted the budget without final Touch. Am 100% sure the budget was padded by budget mafians in budget planning office. Head will roll. The Special Adviser to president on Assembly Senator Ita Enyang will be sacrify. This is not uncommon over the years but in most cases, the mafians lobbies the senators which they couldn't do this time around for the fear of u know from BABA.
classic zombie reasoning! The ministers and your Baba should be absolved of any blame right? all hail baba the only saint in the land of criminals..

You are talking from the other side of your mouth.is it not the strong criticism from both the opposition in the house and the wailers that prompted the close scrutiny

SESSIONS OF BACK TO BACK HITS

we would bring in angels as minsters
TSA remittance commission
bayelsa election
etc
now ZBB is inconclusive

when would we start concluding projects and programmes with our taxes? maybe after four years

i can bet that a self appointed inner cacus whm are still trying to wake up to the realities of being in power runs the country
imagine a minister saying that his ministry's proposal was not what he submitted.
ministry of information got more than ministry of agriculture in an economy that hopes to improve via agriculture
millions proposed for a single water bore-hole
no provisions for foriegn trainings for the workforce but the presidency spends 90 percent on air signing policies and programmes. i wonder where the workforce would gather the understanding to effectively implement the already signed policies and programmes. see the excuse of the budget office in acknowleging that the ZBB is full of errors.
pls lets start concluding things efficiently in this country abeg, no time andd resources to waste again ooh

Suprisingly this is the same kind of budget they have been corruptly passing over the years.......we now have a government that is not willing to bribe the NASS to do business as usual.......transparency is returning gradually.

In the end, the masses always suffer the bad and inconclusive descisions of these bad leaders.

Right now in Abuja, almost everything is on stand still. Economy has slowed to the least, everyone is waiting for the budget to be passed only to hear this.

When will we ever hear goodnews in this Administration?
why wait for a the budget to be pass when the 2015 budget will be out on 30 april 2016 abi na 31st march 2016.

Yeah right, its Buhari's fault though; since he thinks he and his trusted and mediocre friends from the north are better than everyone else.

Even though I also felt apc's campaign for change were all lies. I still wanted them to atleast do something meaningful. If it's to clean up the system. You shouldn't be happy that Nigeria's not moving forward. We move one baby step forward and 10 adult steps backwards. At the end of the day, we're all suffering it. It's not something to gloat about
