Buhari said “We are optimistic that the external factors that partly contributed to push our economy into recession will end in 2017.
“Until then, I regret that the resources available to fund our missions abroad will not be as robust as we would like.
“We are working hard to turn around our national economy by effectively reforming our macroeconomic environment through measures, some of which were outlined in my budget speech to the National Assembly last week.”
President Muhammadu Buhari also assured Nigerians that the 2017 budget will get the country out of the current economic crisis.
