Hours after the 2016 budget proposal was declared missing at the National Assembly, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki visited President Muhammadu Buhari.
Emerging from the President’s office at the Presidential Villa, Saraki declined comments, expressing shock when asked by journalists if the budget was actually.
The hard and soft copies of the 2016 budget documents President Muhammadu Buhari handed over to the National Assembly on December 22, 2015, were earlier declared missing, according to reports.
The Nigerian Senate had been scheduled to commence deliberation on the proposed budget Tuesday.
But Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, was reported to have shocked lawmakers at a closed-door session, when he said the budget documents had been stolen.
