While in
United States (US), President Mohammadu Buhari has stated that he won’t sign
the 2016 budget passed into law unless he critically reviews it.
-
Speaking in a meeting with the US Secretary of
State, John Kennedy in Washington DC, Buhari said his critical review was
necessary following the controversial alteration and padding of the 2016 budget
proposals.
-
According to him, reviewing the budget would
ensure certainty whether its content tallied with the original budget proposal
presented to the National Assembly.
-
Buhari however, pledged his administration’s commitment
to prosecute the war against corruption, while he sought and received an
assurance that the US government would facilitate the repatriation of all
stolen Nigerian funds within the American banking system.
CULLED FROM VANGUARD
