President Muhammadu Buhari will sign the 2018 Appropriation Bill into law next week, the presidency has said.
The assurance came as it was earlier speculated that the budget was to be signed on Wednesday.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, made the clarification to State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday.
Adesina spoke after a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by the President.
He however did not give details of the specific day and time the document will be signed next week. He said the details would be made available later.
“The budget will be signed next week. We will give you the specific date when it is confirmed,” Adesina said.
The National Assembly had since a fortnight ago passed the Appropriation Bill while Nigerians are waiting for Buhari to append his signature before implementation of the budget kicks-off.
