NECA- Delay in validating 2016 budget gives Nigeria bad image abroad

The Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, NECA, has condemned the delay in signing and implementing the 2016 budget into law. NECA said that this has projected the nation as a bad country before other countries of the world. Vanguard News gathered that the Director- General of  NECA, Segun Oshinowo, while responding to the journalists immediately after the visit of NSITF Acting Director General, Ismail Agaka, bewailed the delay in solving the issue surrounding the signing of 2016 budget and wonder why those in charge of drafting and passing the budget would not do so before the beginning of any year. Mr Oshinowo while still complaining on the delay in signing of the 2016 budget has caused the nation, lamented that the delay has portrayed the nation in a bad  light. According to him, "The inability of the National Assembly and Executive to produce the 2016 budget is saying something silently loud about our country. I think it is shameful that there is no budget for four months into the year".
