Amidst recent controversies on who will sign into law the 2017 Budget, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has said he will assent to the 2017 budget when he is satisfied with the content.  

According to the Senior Special Assistant to the Acting President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, “Just so we are clear: when the time comes, everything is set, and he is satisfied, Ag. President Yemi Osinbajo will assent to the 2017 Budget", Mr. Akande tweeted earlier today.


The National Assembly had last week passed the budget, increasing the total sum by N143 billion compared to what was sent by President Muhammadu Buhari.


The lawmakers are, however, yet to transmit the budget to the presidency amidst reports some senators are dissatisfied with the final version.
