Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to ensure that the 2017 budget will not be padded.
He said this when he received members of the Governance Support Group, GSG, led by Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, at State House, Abuja, on Friday.
“I am waiting for the 2017 budget to be brought to us in Council. Any sign of padding anywhere, I will remove it.”
He said he'd been in government since 1975, variously as governor, oil minister, head of state, and Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), “and never did I hear the word ‘padding’ till the 2016 Budget.”
He promised that such would never happen again under his watch.
