President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday signed N10.59 trillion 2020 appropriation bill into law.
Some of the key highlights of the budget are N46 billion for presidency; N110 billion for National Judicial Council; N111.7 billion for Universal Basic Education; N128 billion for national assembly; N40 billion for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); N38 billion for North East Development Commission; and N80 billion for Niger Delta Development Commission.
Aside the N128 billion budgeted for national assembly, another N37 billion was allocated for renovation of the complex.
This didn’t go down well with some Nigerians who reacted, particularly on social media. Some argued that the money could be used to build hospitals, schools and construct roads across the country.
