Buhari signs 2016 budget

President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the 2016 Appropriation Bill into law after an initial rancour between the Executive and the Legislature on some of the contents of the Bill.

“I can’t promise that it will be an easy journey, but I can assure this government you have freely elected will work with honesty and dedication,” the President said during the budget signing.

He said his government was committed to changing the structure of the Nigerian economy “once and for all,” while also commending the sacrifice and resilience Nigerians “who have continued to have hope and confidence of a great future.”
