President Muhammadu Buhari has signed an Act of the National Assembly which authorised the executive to extend the implementation of the capital vote component in the 2015 budget beyond December 31, 2015, a statement has said.
The statement, signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, said his clarification became necessary because legislators, institutions and other concerned agencies had been contacting him to know the true status of the Act that was forwarded to Buhari last week.
