President Muhammadu Buhari has formally
sent amendments to the 2016 budget to the
National Assembly.
A letter from the president notifying
lawmakers of the “corrections” was read
Tuesday by the senate president, Bukola
Saraki, during senate plenary.
A document containing the corrections was
attached to the letter.
The president in his letter said the “draft bill
remains the same and there are no changes in
figures”.
The letter reads: “It will be recalled that on
Tuesday, 22 December, 2015, I presented my
2016 budget proposals to the joint sitting of
the national assembly. I submitted a draft bill
accompanied by a schedule of details.
“At the time of submission, we indicated that
because the details had just been produced,
we would have had to check to ensure that
there were no errors in the detailed
breakdown contained in the schedule.
“That has since been completed and I
understand that the corrections have been
submitted.
