On Tuesday December 22, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari walked into a joint session of the National Assembly and presented the first annual budget proposal of his administration, ambitiously tagged: “The Budget of Change”.
After highlighting the economic challenges that confronted the country due to the fall in oil prices, the president vowed the budget would cut waste from government spending and its funds would only be used for public good.
The same budget has gone through different embarrassing moments with the Presidency, missing from the national assembly, to doctored version and inflation of figures by some unknown individuals tagged as 'Budget Mafia'.
