Buhari Extends Medical Vacation, Fails to Return

President Muhammadu Buhari has sought extension of his medical vacation to complete more tests and failed to return to the country yesterday as earlier planned.

A statement from the Presidency read in part:

“President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the National Assembly today, February 5, 2017, informing of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors,” the statement said.

“The President had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.”

Nigeria’s 2015 Appropriation Bill: Legislators Adopt the Ostrich Strategy

A week after the House of Representatives passed the 2015 Budget, the Upper Chamber fulfilled its part of the Appropriation process by passing a N4.5tn budget. This is N134.4bn in excess of the N4.4tn submitted by the Executive arm late 2014. Meanwhile, recurrent expenditure was reduced slightly by N0.5bn to N2.6tn while capital expenditure was scaled down by additional N85.9bn to N557.0bn from N642.8bn proposed by the Executive arm. Effectively, this implies that recurrent expenditure is approximately five times the capital expenditure.
