He later resented a budget estimate of N6.08 trillion to the National Assembly for the 2016 fiscal year with the  education sector taking the lion share .
The last two budgets under the immediate past administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan were presented to the National Assembly by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
According to the breakdown of the budget, christened: “Budget of Change,” education gets a vote of N396 billion, health sector gets N296 billion, while defence has a vote of N294 billion.
Buhari told the Joint Session of the National Assembly: “But I promise the 2016 budget would address the problems.
“We are here to serve Nigeria and indeed Nigerians will get the services they have longed for.”
