President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that his administration will make tough decisions in the 2016 fiscal year. He, however, said that this does not necessarily mean increasing the level of pain already being experienced by most Nigerians. Buhari said this while presenting the 2016 budget to the National Assembly. The president said in spite of the global economic uncertainties, the government must remain steadfast in her commitment to steering Nigeria back to greatness
