The 2016 Budget: What, How and For Whom are we spending? We have a game plan Says VP Osinbajo

First is, we don't intend to spend for just today but for the next generation.

We will bring down the cost of running government and put money where it matters.

With Agriculture, we will produce what we eat.

With our Social Investment programmes, we will invest in children, young people, the weak, the helpless and small businesses.

Through the STEM programme, we encourage our young citizens to start building the future for our great country.
