2016 budget, best in 55 years – Gbajabiamila
January 21, 2016

Toluwani Eniola

Despite the furore that greeted the 2016 budget, the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, says the budget is unprecedented in the country’s history.

He said the budget was historic because for the first time in recent history, 30 per cent of the budget was dedicated to capital expenditure.

The lawmaker, who said this in a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle on Wednesday, however, called for an increment of the capital expenditure in next year’s budget to 40 per cent.

According to him, the provisions of the 2016 budget would enhance even development in the country.

He said, “I mentioned earlier that this budget is historic because it has a social intervention component. This is because this is the first time that 30 per cent of our budget will be dedicated to capital expenditure in recent history.

“2016 budget is the first all-inclusive budget that seeks to carry all Nigerians along; the rich, the not-so-poor, the not-so-rich and others. It is my hope and that of the House of Representatives that the 2017 capital expenditure will be increased to 40 per cent.

“The 2016 budget is epic not just because of its mega size of N6tn but for the reason that it touches on the wellbeing of the people.”

Buhari'S MAKA WHY







HOPE UNA SEE WHY I SAID 'I HATE INTROVERT'

We all know that's not true as evidence of copy and paste is all over the place.

Sad to note that my party APC wasn't ready or do not have plans on how to govern.

Fighting Corruption is not enough to improve the living standards of The People.

Like wise dolling out 5k to unemployed youth in the name of social inclusiveness is not the way to go at this point in Nigeria.

If these unemployed youths are empowered with problem solving skills and an enabling environment is created for them, the will give back more than 5k to the government in form of tax.

I've got two senseless posts above here.

lalasticlala ooooh

He was only rapping for his zombies. You could hear them shout atop their voices; "This is a Budget of hope". Alas the celebrated budget is saturated with yams hidden in silos for buhari and Co to masticate while their zombies keep shouting and dancing on empty stomach.

Had Ahmed/Akume and Gbajabiamila won NASS leadership, this disgrace called budget would've pass as it is presently drafted.

There are substantial opposition representatives in the leadership of many committees, thanks to Saraki and Dogora. We expect justice to prevail after intense debate and defence for and against each component of the draft before an acceptable people's oriented budget will be approved.

Well, Gbaja spoke on the increase in capital expenditure then because he hasn't seen the billions budgeted for the state house clinic and the hundred of millions budgeted for fixing cables in the Aso rock driver's quarters.

So why was he full of praises and cheers for a document he only took a cursory look at if he was not continuing in their usual propaganda.

Only Gbajabiamila can answer that.
