Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has said the 2018 budget will be passed into law by December this year.

The Presidency in a tweet on Monday said Osinbajo has reached an agreement with the National Assembly to summit the 2018 budget to the Assembly in October.

The Presidency tweeted, “We have reached an agreement with @nassnigeria to submit #Budget2018 by Oct 2017, and have it passed into law by Dec 2017.”

Osinbajo had signed the budget on Monday after the presidency said Buhari directed him to.
