The 2016 budget proposal submitted to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari is reportedly missing.
Recall that President Buhari had on Tuesday, December 22, 2015, presented the budget proposal to the joint session of the National Assembly.
But about two weeks later, news of the withdrawal of the budget filtered round.
The disappearance of the budget document was announced during a closed door session at the National Assembly that lasted 90 minutes.
It was said that Senate Leader Ali Ndume made the disclosure during the closed door session, even as the Senators were supposed to commence the consideration of the N6.08tr budget today.
Meanwhile, Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Saraki on Tuesday afternoon paid a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja after the National Assembly session ended.
The meeting was not opened to the press as it held behind closed doors.
There was no clue as to whether the visit was connected to the alleged missing 2016 budget which has been submitted to the National Assembly.
Attempts made by the State House Correspondents to confirm or refute the missing budget were unproductive as Saraki did not comment when asked.
