However, instead of this week, the president requested to present the 2017 budget next week on December 14 by 10am.
Recall that the president had moved the presentation to today, December 6 from an earlier reported date of December 1.
The letter also comes just days after President Buhari held a closed-door meeting with the senate president Bukola Saraki in the Aso Rock presidential villa on Thursday, December 1 after failing to present the budget.
Bashir Ahmad, personal assistant to President Buhari on new media, informed Nigerians about the meeting through his official Twitter account.
