The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, in an exclusive interview with Channels Television, says the budget is truly a budget of recovery and growth.

He believes the Buhari-led federal government is on the right track with its economic recovery plans to ease the pains caused by the state of the economy.


“The budget is based on a benchmark of 2.2 million barrels a day. The oil price of about $42.5 is realistic – probably it would be much better than that.

“We believe that the revenues will go up. There is a deficit of about 2.3 trillion and still below agreed deficit percentage of 3%,” he said.

Dr Saraki said that the federal government would soon embark on a road show on some of its economic plans.

Are Saraki and Sarkki abi na Sarrki related?

Well, only time can tell.
I have always been of the opinion that things may get much worse before the good times begin, but going through the motions of the hard times truly feels unbearable.
Even if this government has good intentions, time is of the essence in actualising it's plans, before the common man is completely wiped away!

Mtcheww

Let the people feel it ,in that way they will feel more connected to the government of the day.

Una go recover till 2019...where is the change then?

Let's wait and see

Abeg... Buhari don die?

Me no want make e die sha... Na my helper be dat.

Lol. Bobo yi ti ya werey sha.

Whose recovery? Nigeria's or the political class?

Nigeria









Well see my signature

What happen to ur corruption case?

I know you are lieing but continue

E no kwosine us

Saraki is one idiot and over-rated politician that some Nigerians (particularly Kwarans) errorneously regard as being wise. So, i can't be disturbed when I hear him make silly statements like this.

Well, may his blind optimism turn to reality.

Nutase:
Are Saraki and Sarkki related?

Yes they lated not related

Ok

Well, let's see how things will go. I still believe in Nigeria.
A great percentage of those who criticize their leaders do not have any leadership experience themselves.

“The budget is based on a benchmark of 2.2 million barrels a day. The oil price of about $42.5 is realistic – probably it would be much better than that.

I thought Buhari is divesting from oil, so let me guess, they're hoping to still depend on ND oil.. I guess Buhari can't do without oil. Now I can laugh at anyone who undermines NDA and their demands because Nigeria isn't ready for restructuring.

Abi these people use our money do MmM

Ok

Recovery from his illness? Ok. Good luck to him.

It thorough implementation it is...

saraki and buhari....only the corrupt cheer the corrupt...

this useless Man will say A today and B tomorrow, I no send give u and the dullard sha,

Revolution all the way......
