Okonjo-Iweala presents N4.3tn 2015 federal budget to N’Assembly

Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has
just presented the 2015 budget estimates of about
N4.3trillion before the National Assembly.
She laid the document in separate appearances before the
Senate and the House of Representatives.
There was not a joint sitting of the two chambers as has
been the tradition, as President Goodluck Jonathan
already delegated Okonjo-Iweala to present the estimates
on his behalf.
The Coordinating Minister of the Economy came to
National Assembly with a retinue of other ministers and
the Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation,
Dr. Bright Okogu.
No speeches were made during the ceremony, which was
quite brief.
