Yesterday, President Muhammadu Buhari presented a budget of N7.30 trillion for 2017 before a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja. The president said that N2.24 trillion, representing 30.7 per cent of the 2017 budget, would be committed to capital expenditure aimed at pulling the economy out of recession as quickly as possible. He said the capital expenditure was increased from N1.8 trillion in 2016 to N2.24 trillion in 2017. An overexcited Nigerian, Nurudeen Nyako, took the streets on his motorcycle riding with posters of the president and the Nigerian flag -in a bid to show his support for the number one citizen.
