Buhari presents 2016 budget to NASS today

Let's see what he has for us...let's see. I guess it's a mercy that he's not reading it to us from foreign lands.
And say, do you remember when an unconscious and comatose Umaru Yaradua signed the 2010 budget from his sick (death) bed abroad? Naija sef, we don see plenty things for dis country o!
Anyway, Buhari had better have something reasonable to present to Nigerians in line with his electoral promises o!
I'll be watching:
1) Crude oil benchmark
2) Projected exchange rate
3) Capital/recurrent expenditure ratio
4) Allotment for the education sector
5) Social welfare safety nets
6) Attempt to diversify economy into agriculture and manufacturing.
And when the budget is broken down at NASS deliberations, I'll also be watching the region-by-region capital projects spread.
Buhari, over to you!
