Abuja, May 8, 2018 (AltAfrika)-Nigeria’s Senate President Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara have ruled out the possibility of passing the 2018 budget this week as earlier promised.
Addressing State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday, Saraki said they hoped the budget would be laid this week and passed next week.
