By Akinwale Kasali

As 2021 gradually comes to a climax, Nigerians are waiting patiently for President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the 2022 Budget, as most State Governors have presented their budgets for the New Year to their various Legislative Arms in their States.

Following the anxiety that has greeted the 2022 Budget, President Buhari is set to sign the 2022 Appropriation Bill on Friday, 31st December, 2021.

According to the Presidency, the budget has been transmitted by the National Assembly.

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed this to Channels Television on Tuesday in Abuja, stressing that the 2022 budget has been transmitted by the National Assembly and the President will sign the bill into law by 10am on Friday morning.

This comes barely a week after the House of Representatives and Senate chambers of the National Assembly passed a budget of N17.126 trillion, increasing the benchmark price of crude from $57 to $62 per barrel.
