President Buhari addressing the Nigerian parliament. The
presidency has made a massive cut in the 2016 Budget
The presidency has drastically cut its N8.09 billion provision in
the 2016 budget for the purchase of various brands of vehicles
for State House operations during the year.


Premium Times reports that a review of the fresh copy of the
budget uploaded to the website of the Budget Office of the
Federation on Friday, January 15, showed a massive cut by
about 83.5% in the total allocation for the vehicles.
According to the revised budget, the government will now
spend only N1.34 billion to buy only five BMW saloon cars and
jeeps as well as buses for use by the Presidency during the
year.

Budget change




There were other adjustments asides reduction in the provision
for vehicles. Certain allocations to various departments and
units in the presidency contained in the original budget were
revised.


It would be recalled that a total of N7.52 billion was provided
previously for the purchase of various exotic vehicles, including
BMW saloon cars, in addition to another N566 million for the
procurement of vehicles, including 16-seater Toyota Hiace
coaster buses for the State House.


The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, had on Thursday,
January 14, accused the presidency
of substituting the original copy of the budget presented by
President Buhari to the National Assembly (NASS) on
December 22, 2015 with a new version.
Saraki’s claim comes following days of suspense which trailed
claims and counterclaims that the document was missing.
Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding Nigeria’s budget was
reportedly stirred by intents to defraud the nation.
Investigations reveal that between the 1,810-page budget
availed by Buhari and that presented by Ita Enang, the special
adviser to the president on Senate matters, there were huge
discrepancies.


Most of the differences between the two budgets concerned the
state house and the presidency in general.
The Cable reports that another N3.9 billion was included for
routine care of the presidential villa, while the money specified
for the procurement of BMW salon cars was reduced from N3.6
billion to N340 million
