CEOAfrica has just gathered that access into the National Assembly this morning is quite difficult as all three entry gates have been shut by security operatives.

Our reporter gathered that the action is in preparation for President Muhammadu Buhari’s anticipated visit to the National Assembly today to present the estimates of the 2017 budget to senators and members of the House of Representatives.

Members of staff have been denied access and all other organisations rendering services within the complex have been shut out.

The shut gates have caused long queues of vehicles and crowds of anxious people are noticed along the entry points.
