NASS will release details of N139.5b budget – Saraki

Details of the National Assembly’s N139.5 billion allocations in the 2018 national budget will not be kept secret from the public, Senate President, Senator Olusola Saraki has pledged.

However, this will only be done after the National Assembly resumes from recess and receives details from officials of the NASS management.

Responding to enquiries from The Nation, Special Adviser (Media and Publicity) to the Senate President, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu said the Senate President is keen on releasing details of this year’s NASS budget, stressing that the move would be a further confirmation of his pledge to ensure a ‘new order’.
