FG says budget 2018 proposal will be submitted October, not January

The Federal Government tonight announced that the October date earlier promised for the submission of the 2018 budget proposal to the joint session of the National Assembly remains unchanged.

This was made known in a tweet released by the Federal Government of Nigeria in its handle @AsoRock

“Please note that this report is NOT CORRECT. The Oct 2017 date is still on course, as promised. We’re in final states of preparation process”

Minister of Budget and National Planning Sen. Udoma Udo Udoma had earlier informed the nation this week that the 2018 budget proposal will be sent to the National Assembly in January.
