torkaka: IF NA ABOUT GOOD BUDGET PRESENTATION WE FOR DON BETTER PASS DUBAI!!

Louis88: Late budget presentation has always been one of the excuses that everybody been giving for poor implementation,this is one area that this govt recognized and decided to set things straight,at least now that GEJ has identified this problem and has successfully solved it like he said he would,I believe this is a strong indication that he wants the budget to succeed and impact on the lives of every Nigerian,because this is a challenge that he is giving to his cabinet,they have no excuse not to implement fully now,see, the man really wants things to work in this country.

Demdem:

fool, av i answered ur question? if i have, why dont u just admit that u are wrong

taharqa: Apart from the general improvements in d indicators of the budget since he came(reductn of Recurrent from 78% in 2010 to 68.7% dis time, reductn of Overhead from about about 500b in 2010 to about 200b dis time, reductn of deficit from about 2.9% in 2010 to 2.18% dis time, etc ) as a practical person am more impressd by d practical incentives in terms of taxes and excise duties the govt is putting in place to attract serious investors, increasd industralisatn and create jobs- the 0% duty for Sugar relatd equipment( including a 5yr tax holiday), 0% duty for aircraft parts(smthing the d aviatn guys hv bn pleading for for yrs) and bus spare parts etc. Add all these to those already done for cassava, rice, cocoa, oil palm etc( which are already hving sm impart) and of course d recent 30% infrastructure tax rebate for industries as well as 10% tax rebate for employing more than 10 workers- this is not only practical LEADERSHIP but also putting actions to one's plans. Very commendable..i was also impressd by d fact dat sm real practical emphasis was placed on women, which is important if one is serious in reducing poverty.....this was not just a mere budget Speech but containd practical outlines to achieving sm of its aim; hopefully d implementatn wud improve just as d Speaker insistd it shld

brotherlyn: Left to GEJ, to a large extent he is sincere and has the heart to work, but the issue is he is being surrounded by foxes and vultures
who don't mean well for the nation.

Receiving the budget is one thing, implementation is another. Not just implementation, but correct implementation.

I wish him the very best.

omenka: As usual these folks think like they have no brains at all. How can we be talking about having gas pipelines leading into homes when our fire service is department is at best redundant? Fix the fire service before thinkin about runnin gas pipelines through populated areas retards!

Pupita: That is our prayers for him, the forces he is contending against are so much,and the entire nation should rise against these vultures and support GEJ to lift this nation from political,social and economic doldrums.

Bukkyade: This is the first time in the history of this country when budget is coming this early.
This is the first time in the history of this country when a budget is presented with an account of performance of the previous budget in key areas.
The entire NASS were impressed and clapped thunderously to the key performances on critical areas like power and NIPP power stations. Railway rehabilitation involving Itakpe-Warri, Lagos-Kano, Abuja metropolitan railway co. Inland waterways in Onitsha and ports sanitisazation, reconstruction of 11 existing terminals and award for construction of 5 new major airports innLagos, Kano, Port HarvourtAbuja and Enugu.
The president gave details of how he is going to consolidate on these achievements with a reduction in recurrent expenditure.
So many incentives for growth of local industries with zero percent duties on so many imports

obicentlis: Na today?

Demdem: Nigeria has always had beautiful budgets. It didnt start today neither will it end today also. Implementation has always been our problem. even budget 2012 wasnt bad at all except the recurrent part IMO however what is our story today?

Mandelaguy: Imagine a foo.l calling an intellect a foo.l. You suck!

Sky Blue: But in all seriousness the House of Assembly must be fought on their attempts to increase the oil benchmark. What are they going to do with the extra money and does more money automatically mean increased implementation? We need to start actually putting more money in our savings acount as a nation and increasing oil benchmark works against that. Again, what do they want to do with the extra money? They should be setting target of 85 percent implementation and working hard towards helping government achieve that, not worrying about oil benchmark, wetin consain dem?
