In the same vein, the President on Tuesday expressed his desire to have the national budgeting process thoroughly reformed in a manner that will promote accountability, transparency and professionalism.

He stated this in Abuja while speaking at the summit on inter-governmental/inter-party relations and the budget reform process for sustainable development in Nigeria, organised by the National Institute for Legislative Studies (NILS).

He was represented at the summit by the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma.

He said there cannot be meaningful development in the country if the budget process is not credible.
