Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday gave an assurance that the 2016 budget will become operational “in the next few days” as Nigerians anxiously await action from the National Assembly on the budget which was returned to it by the presidency for correction.
The reconciliation committee of the National Assembly on the budget is currently working on lapses noted by the executive after details of the budget were submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The lapses prevented the president from assenting to the bill.
But Vice President Osinbajo said yesterday that once Buhari signs the appropriation bill into law, government will get cracking to cover lost grounds.
