Full text of 2018 Budget: The perfidy of a leader.

Highlights : Deficit: N1.69 trillion Debt servicing: N2Trillion Capital expenditure: N2Trillion. Education: N71Billion. Performance of 2017 Budget: Below 20% Agriculture : N71Billion.  Conclusion: a budget and a leader who cannot address human capital development, health care, education and paying lip service to agriculture, manufacturing and export, is by my estimate a visionless and an inept leader.
