From borrowing you mean?

No, excluding borrowing. You can check the breakdown, it is not hidden . this trend brings an omen that will lay the foundation for true and sustainable diversification of the economy from being a highly dependent oil economy. The last time we had such trend was in 1972.

This article's title is misleading.

The prof made his comments before PMB even presented the budget, and all he "slammed" was the entire historical budgeting process and implementation in Nigeria, not PMB's budget.

Sensationalist OP.

I swear because they did not in any correlate. I think some people want to just see this government fail. WHY?

Pat Utomi's comment is still applicable weather made before or after submitting the budget.

Spot on. The OP is just being mischievous.

please if you find it difficult to understand simple write up, you better go back to school. The professor never referred to 2016 as a joke, he was just talking generally on presentation and implementation of a budget. Don't just come here and mislead people. Olodo!

Nawa o. Op wetin happen? was he referring to this 2016 budget abi u just want to make no1se.

did you hear this:



“What the country is dealing with is a huge financing gap; we used to earn so much and now, we are earning this much, if we pretend that nothing has changed, then we would go into an economic spiral”, he added.

yapapa:
we don hear...see his name sef " Utomi" abi "Atomic".
bros your name is d joke I see here o sir wailing wailer.

What is this one saying now? Evolve! your commenting is too cheap. How does your contribution relate to the subject matter?
Anyway, it's nairaland, you get to see all sorts. Even those who cannot define 'Economics' must comment.

mapet:
OP is a ignorant irritant rat.

1. Prof Utomi called the process a joke and not the budget
2. Prof Utomi identified that the process makes little provision on governance of implementation

So how does this exonerates your PMB and his budget? What steps has he taken to enhance full implementation of his own budget? You are so desperate to defend him when you don't know a thing about how he is running his government. I can bet that you are not even among those e-rats that were hosted by Aisha. Plain slavish loyalty is all you have!

Exactly! what I read is contrary to what the topic depicts, I pray those that do not want the best for this Nation to go on exile so we can focus on how to get the Country back on its feet!

Am just tired of Nairaland and Nigerians in general. Sometimes I just wish we can go back to when internet was scarce.

Pat Utomi @UtomiPat

@iykimo how difficult to have civil discuss here. I said nothing about 2016 budget which I have not even seen. Said I avoid budget discuss

Pat Utomi @UtomiPat

The reason I have avoided budget discussions in more 20yrs is that the process has become a joke in Nigeria. So how is that about 2016 budgt
