The Personal Assistant to the President on Media, Bashir Ahmed announced on twitter today that the 2016 budget has been signed into law.
The ceremony of signing the main national document was attended by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and the chairmen of the National Assembly appropriation committees.
There was a short controversy when the budget went missing from the NASS, when no-one could trace the document presented by Buhari. But the that matter was rapidly fixed and the president received fresh document.
Later President Buhari refused to sign the main document because he did not know the exact content. he returned the budget on 3 occassions. Finally, the National Assembly submitted a clean copy of the budget to President Buhari.
