The face-off between the National Assembly and the Executive over the 2016 budget came to an end with the signing of it into law by President Muhammadu
Buhari on Friday.
The budget was signed at a brief ceremony held inside the President’s office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
But, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, while briefing correspondents after the Budget was signed said it would be impossible
to achieve its full implementation.
However, see four quotes of Buhari during the signing of the 2016 budget into law that perhaps should give us some hope:
“This government is like no other. We are absolutely committed to changing the structure of the Nigerian economy once and for all”
“I can’t promise that it will be an easy journey, but can assure this govt you have freely elected will work with honesty & dedication”
“I commend the sacrifice, resilience, toughness of all Nigerians, who have continued to have hope and confidence of a great future”
“Living in the State House does not alienate me from your daily struggles. I hear your cries, I share your pains”
