Nigeria don ready with dia budget for 2018, wey dem call 'Budget of Consolidation' to help di economy recover from di first recession for di country for 25 years.

President Muhammadu Buhari announce budget of 8.6 trillion naira ($28.1bn) for inside speech wey last one hour and five minutes.

Every year, Nigeria budget dey always come with im own name. Di name for 2018 own, according to President Buhari, na "Budget of Consolidation".

When Buhari imsef talk di name of dis new budget, e say "our main work na to build on top wetin we don do before. We go maintain those rules to increase money like di way e be for last two budgets."

Di budget names dey come from di plan wey di Nigeria government get for di year based on wetin dem wan achieve. Dis na according to Kenneth Erikume, partner for PwC Nigeria, one company wey dey do work wey include money matter dem.

Erikume say di reason Buhari government use 'Consolidation' fit be say as di country dey come out of recession, all di things wey dem don dey do come from 2015 go get head for 2018, wey be di year before Nigerians get to vote for new government.

"Dis na dia last opportunity to show Nigerians say all di things wey dem don dey do dey work," Erikume add.

Sometimes wetin di government get for mind for di name no happen like dem think am. For 2015 budget, Goodluck Jonathan wey be di president then, call am "Transition Budget" because for am, dem wan focus on how to "manage small money wey dey, so that dem go change to economy wey no go dey depend on oil" and at di same time, dem go try protect people wey e fit affect.
