Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria's Minister of Finance will in place of President Goodluck Jonathan present the 2015 budget to the National Assembly on Wednesday. Channels says.
President Goodluck Jonathan reportedly requested that the Finance Minister should be allowed to present the budget on his behalf on December 17.
The President also requested that the Senate should consider the budget at the same time with the revised Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) which was also sent to the National Assembly with a revised figure of $65 dollars oil benchmark price.
The Minority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, however, raised a point of order on the matter, wondering why the President wont present the budget himself and after deliberations, it was ruled that the Finance Minister be allowed to present the budget.
