The weekly Federal Executive
Council (FEC) meeting for this Wednesday, will not hold.
It was gathered that the
development may not be unconnected to the signing of the 2018 Appropriation
Bill into law.
The budget is expected to be
signed on Wednesday.
Principal officers of the
National Assembly, including the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker,
House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara have been invited to witness the
signing ceremony at the Presidential Villa.
Recall that the Special Adviser
to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina had hinted last
Wednesday, that the budget will be signed this week without revealing the exact
day and time.
The National Assembly passed the
budget on May 16, over seven months after the president submitted the proposals
to the lawmaker.
Buhari presented a proposed
budget of eight trillion, six hundred and twelve billion, two hundred and
thirty-six million, nine hundred and fifty-three thousand, two hundred and
fourteen Naira (N8,612, 236,953,214) to the lawmakers.
