Acting President Yemi Osinbajo will on Tuesday sign the 2017 budget into law barring last minute change of decision, Daily Trust gathered.

This is coming as President Muhammadu Buhari deferred return to Nigeria home from a medical leave in the UK last weekend. Reuters quoted source at presidency.

Sources, according to Reuters, say Buhari's doctors said they will need to carry out testing on him on Monday, and the test results will determine when he returns to Nigeria.

A source familiar with the budget told Dailytrust Newspaper that the budget signing was initially slated for today, but postponed to tomorrow due to undisclosed engagement by the acting president.

Hon. Timothy Golu, a member of the House of Representatives, who chairs committee on legislative budget and research said that “all grey areas have been sorted and the budget is ready for signing into law any time soon."

Recall that the National Assembly had on May 9 passed the budget estimates submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari last December.
