Senate to receive report on missing budget tomorrow

The committee assigned to look into the missing 2016 budget will submit its report to the Senate on Thursday 14 January 2016.

The budget proposal was presented to a joint session of the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari on December 22, 2015.

Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki gave assurance of the report on the floor of the Senate following a point of order raised by by the PDP Senator, representing Abia South Senatorial District, Sen.

Responding to the point of order, Saraki said:
“It was agreed in the closed session yesterday, that the Senate will wait for a feedback from the committees assigned to look into the matter... the feedback from the committees should be ready by tomorrow (Thursday).”
