Dogara Blasts Buhari over Nigeria’s Budget The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari over the 2019 and previous budget estimates and procedure. Mr Dogara in his opening remarks at a public hearing on the 2019 budget said the budgets over the years have only reflected the selfish wish of its drafters. He said the budgets have repeatedly excluded national values and interests. He also criticised the late submission of budgets to the National Assembly by the Executive. “Over the years, the main problem with our budget as submitted by the Executive is that it does not reflect national values and priorities.
