Youth council wants end to budget controversy

The President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Mr Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to assent to the 2016 budget and end the controversy surrounding it.
Later, he said, the president should submit a supplementary appropriation bill to the National Assembly to accommodate items missing in the budget.
Addressing journalists, yesterday in Abuja, Ugochinyere advised those trying to set the executive and legislative arms of government on collision course to desist, stressing that the synergy between both arms was in the best interest of the country.
He tasked the federal government to make public its economic policy to boost investor confidence, end the fuel queues, and solve the nation’s epileptic power supply.
