Marcus Araromi, Senior Lecturer at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria in, An Examination of the Extent of Legislative Power in Annual Fiscal Budget Making in Nigeria, contributes to the debate on the extent of the power of the National Assembly to tinker with the budget estimates submitted to it by the Executive. The crux of the perennial disputes between the Legislature and the Executive has been whether the law permits the Legislature to tamper with the figures of the budget or whether it should be a mere rubber stamp to approve the estimated budget submitted to it by the Executive. Araromi reviews the changing role of the Legislature in modern times and the compelling logic of the proponents of the opposing views. He concludes that there is an absence of explicit provisions in the law enabling the Legislature to amend budgets and it is necessary to amend the Constitution to clearly define the scope of the power of the Executive and the Legislature in budget making.
