The Lawmakers also adopted the oil benchmark production of 2.2m barrel per day and $44.5 per barrel as benchmark price for 2017 budget, as recommended by the executive.
It could be recalled that the Senate had on Wednesday, 23rd November, 2016, considered the request of President Muhammadu Buhari on the 2017-2019 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) and referred same to the committees on Finance; Appropriation; and National Planning, for further legislative action.
You see why I said that these politicians are empty upstairs, 2 days ago, the green chamber rejected that rate, today the senate approved the same rate. Ndi ara. In fact, thank God for giving Nigeria Buhari. Its only him that have the guts to handle this country.
