Buhari yet to get 2018 budget from national assembly

A blast from the past!

Yes, you're correct. In 2017, President Muhammadu Buhari had yet to receive the 2018 budget from the National Assembly. This was a major controversy at the time, with the President accusing the National Assembly of delaying the budget process.

In December 2017, the National Assembly had passed the 2018 budget, but it was not sent to the President for assent. The President had initially submitted the budget to the National Assembly in November 2017, but the lawmakers made significant changes to the budget, including increasing the allocation to some ministries and agencies.

The delay in transmitting the budget to the President led to a stalemate, with the President refusing to sign the budget until the National Assembly made the necessary changes. The impasse was eventually resolved in June 2018, when the National Assembly passed a revised budget that was more in line with the President's original submission. The President subsequently signed the budget into law.
