The National Assembly resumed from its end-of-year recess last week Tuesday, January 16, 2018. It is imperative for the National Assembly to pass the 2018 budget presented to them by President Muhammadu Buhari on November 7, 2018. Much as I want a quick passage of the 2018 budget, it must however be stripped of all paddings. For those who may not know, the PIB has been in the National Assembly since 1999. The National Assembly can also ensure that our security agencies are well-resourced to perform their constitutional and statutory function of maintenance of law and order.
