The Senate has passed the 2016 Federal budget today after months of confusion and delays. It will be recalled that allegations were made against President Buhari and his Special Adviser for National Assembly Matters (Senate) Ita Enang that they conspired to steal the budget document from the Senate following the discovery of embarrassing appropriations.
Included in these appropriations was an opulent line item for books for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s office and vehicles for the Presidency. Responding to some excessive appropriations, President Buhari terminated many employees he held responsible for these line items.
The total allocation for the Fiscal Year 2016 budget is N6.08 trillion.
