Reps Jerk Up 2019 Budget, Pass N8.916tn

House of Representatives today passed a total of N8,916, 964, 098, 373 trillon as 2019 budget.

President Muhammadu Buhari had in December 2018 presented a budget estimate of N8.83 trillion before a joint session of the Senate and the House for the 2019 fiscal year.

But the House while considering the budget added N86 billion to what the Executive arm of government proposed.
