THE PUNCH has authoritatively learnt. Investigation by our correspondent on Monday revealed that Jonathan decided to sign the budget into law a couple of days back without fanfare. There have been concerns among Nigerians on whether Jonathan will sign the budget before May 29 when he will formally hand over to Muhammadu Buhari or he will leave it behind for the incoming administration which is believed may still prepare a supplementary budget.
But a Presidency source told our correspondent that the President signed the budget about two weeks ago immediately after the document passed by the National Assembly was transmitted to him.
