Fashola: Budget Delay Is Regrettable

Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, says

the delay in the conclusion of work on the 2016 budget is regrettable, ascribing the circumstance to what he called ‘blending process of a largely new team getting to know each other’.Mr Fashola made the statement on Monday while responding to questions about why the budget had not been concluded four months after it was presented to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The former Lagos State Governor, told Channels Television that meetings have been held to resolve the grey areas, expressing hopes that the budget would be passed soon.
