My Prof and Pastor is now fully in charge. He is making history, first time, a vice president acting for the president will be signing budget into law. Good one. Wish Buhari quick recovery anyway.

It’s half of the year and the budget that’s supposed to run for the whole year is just going to be signed tomorrow, is this an achievement on the part of the government or failure on the part of the government? It’s shameful

It is actually very embarrassing, there’s nothing worth celebrating in this. I hope Osinbajo will did the right thing by rejecting the budget because of the additional money added to suit the red chamber. The budget is late already, it is better to fix all inadequacies once and for all

What nonsense are you saying? The little adjustment made by the senate was necessary and at the house’s discretion. Osinbajo ha she no choice than to sign the budget as it is.
