President Muhammadu Buhari will assent to the 2016 budget this week.
His deputy, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, said this yesterday at a non-denominational conference tagged “Platform” sponsored by the Covenant Christian Centre, Abuja.

“The budget will become operational in the next few days,” Osinbajo assured.


Osinbajo also reacted to comments by Nigerians who have been questioning whether the change they voted for was a mere campaign slogan to attract votes.

“People now wonder where is the change that formed the crux of our electioneering campaigns.

“But they fail to understand that patience is also a virtue that they must have as a people,” he said.
