These are the numbers in the 2017 Federal Budget signed by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo. Prof. Osinbajo had on May 19 received the N7.441 trillion budget passed by the National Assembly. He signed it into Law today.
Mr. Osinbajo signed the budget at about 4:40 p.m. on Monday inside his conference room in the presence of the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari; Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, Ministers and other top government officials.
The National Assembly passed the 2017 Appropriations Bill on May 10 after raising from the N7.28 trillion earlier proposed by President Muhammadu Buhari in December last year, to N7.44 trillion.
Except the final expenditure numbers, the charts have the proposed numbers as the National Assembly raised the number from N7.28 trillion to M7.44 trillion. The impact is very marginal at N160B difference. So these charts are correct and can be quoted and used.
