We'll Make Nigerians Smile In Our 2016 Budget – VP Osinbajo

As you all know, the President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo government is still running the 2015 budget that they inherited from the Goodluck Jonathan administration.



But things will soon change. According to VP Yemi Osinbajo, the Buhari administration is working out how to ensure government’s planning and budgeting for 2016 caters for the vast majority of Nigerians, especially the over 110 million extremely poor among the country's 170 million population.

VP Osinbajo made the comment Friday in Abuja while meeting with a delegation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation who paid him a courtesy call in his office.

According to the Vice President, the Buhari administration enjoyed the electoral support of millions of poor Nigerians who invested their hope in the new government and they can't afford to disappoint them.

He added that the Buhari presidency would deliver on its promises including the social investment programmes such as the Conditional Cash Transfer and the School Feeding Plan.
