Dogara denies that NASS has removed the Lagos-Calabar rail project from the 2016 budget, says reports are absolute rubbish

In a series of tweets, speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has discredited reports that the National Assembly has removed the Lagos-Calabar rail project from the 2016 budget. There were media reports this weekend that a source within the presidency said that the lawmakers removed the rail project. 

 

This has generated a lot of argument with many people accusing the National Assembly members of working against the progress of the budget. Responding to the arguments via his twitter handle, Dogara said there was never an inclusion for the Lagos-Calabar rail project in the budget. See more of his tweets below...
