President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived at the National Assembly complex where he will be presenting the 2019 budget proposal.
The President and members of his cabinet arrived amid a rowdy session in which lawmakers could be heard jeering and cheering loudly.
President Buhari arrived at about 12:40 pm and is expected to table the budget before a joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Ahead of his arrival, men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) were ensuring all security measures were in place in and around the complex.

Noticeably absent were the workers at the National Assembly, under the auspices of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria, who had crippled business and legislative activities as part of their four-day warning strike.
The workers, who barricaded the entrances to the National Assembly on Monday, and had earlier picketed the chambers, were still at the main entrance to the premises as of 8am, had resolved to stay away from the premises pending the time the budget presentation would last.
