President Muhammadu Buhari presented the budget for 2018 financial year to the National Assembly on Tuesday.
The president proposed N8.6trn for the 2018 year.
The President assured the country that the 2018 budget would be a consolidation of the earlier ones, noting that 2018 is expected to be a year of better outcomes while describing the document as “Budget of Consolidation.”
Following the presentation, Nigerians are airing their opinions. Many gave attention to the figures which are actually very important, some talked about the ‘nickname’ of the budget, “the Budget of Consolidation” some were quick to compare the budget content with past budgets while some just could not resist commending the president stamina throughout the speech.
Here are some of the mixed comments.
Over 2 years, this @MBuhari govt have been talking about diversifying yet #Budget2018 is based on revenue from oil production.
