BUHARI AT THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COMPLEX FOR 2017 APPROPRIATION BILL

By


The National Assembly Complex Abuja administrative and commercial activities were paralyzed on Wednesday when President Muhammadu Buhari visited the complex to present the 2017 Appropriation Bill.
The President presented the 2017 budget proposal to a joint session of both chambers of the National Assembly.
Several members of staff of the National Assembly, especially junior workers, were not allowed into the premises.
After entering through these gates, there are two more gates to cross before getting to the National Assembly building and all were manned by list-bearing security personnel who checked through the papers for identification of each entrant.
The car park behind the complex – at the Presidential Villa-end gate of the National Assembly – which was always filled to capacity by 10am, was empty until Buhari left the premises.
Businesses in the premises were also closed for the budget presentation. Banks, restaurants and shops of telecommunication service providers in the building were closed.
A massive deployment of security operatives from various agencies were observed in and around the complex.
As early as 6am, security operatives had occupied the three entry points into the complex – the main gate, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation gate and the Presidential Villa gate.
Buhari’s presentation, which was scheduled to begin at 10am, did not start until 2pm.
The President arrived at the Assembly at 1:57pm. Members of the National Executive Council and leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress had arrived the National Assembly Complex about 15 minutes ahead of the President.
Members of the federal cabinet in attendance included the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal; Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun; Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN); Minister of Budget and National Planning; Udo Udoma; and the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi.
The APC leaders in attendance included the National Vice-Chairman (South), Segun Oni; and National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni.
The Acting Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Walter Onnoghen, also witnessed the presentation.

Courses You Should Avoid/Be Careful With In UNN: Am going to list down some departments in UNN you should clean your eyes very well if you want to go there or plan to change to them, you should just be ready or you will end up regretting why you make such choice. One of the mistakes students make in their academic pursuit starts with the choice of course or department they choose in Jamb. Some people will use their hands and drag themselves into a hot fire which they will start regretting or saying "if I had known" later but by then, its already late. Some people choose course because their friends choose the course, some choose it because of the way the name sounds, some just choose without asking questions, some choose because maybe its easy to enter, etc. I always hear students saying "I shouldn't have gotten myself into this department that I am if I knew this department is like this" There are also so many students who are just "flowing...
