2018 Budget: Works Ministry To Spend N341bn On Projects – Fashola by ManirBK: 7:30am On Jan 27, 2018
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Thursday, said Works sector would require N341 billion for projects in 2018.
He said this while defending the ministry’s 2018 budget before members of the House of Representatives Committee on Works, in Abuja. Fashola said out of N325.9 billion earmarked as capital budget, the main ministry would gulp N288.3 billion while parastatals will need N37.6 billion.
According to Fashola, the budget for Federal Emergency Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) is N25.6 billion, Office of Secretary to Government of the Federation, N10.1 billion and Federal School of Surveying, Oyo, N450 million.
“Others are Council For the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), N548.5million, Regional Centre for Training in Aerospace Surveys (RECTAS), N301 milliin and Surveyors Registration Council of Nigeria (SURCON), N489.6 million,” Fashola said. For overhead, he told the committee that the ministry earmarked N480.1 million and N15.2 million for its parastatals. Fashola, however, said that the ministry would give priorities to projects of critical economic value to the country.
“These are highly trafficked routes used for the distribution of goods and services across the country and major river-crossing bridges,” he added. Fashola blamed the untimely completion of projects on insufficient funding. “The major factor militating against the timely completion of projects is insufficient budgetary provision and releases for projects to sustain annual cash-flow requirement levels. “This underscores the need for diversifying the sources of funding for highway projects,” he said.

One of the road they've been allocating huge fund into (Lagos Ibadan express way) is still in bad shape and they've just started working on it few weeks ago.... I just hope they can at least finish that.

it means the money never materialised and shows that the budget failed in some what.Which further shows that the govt is underfunding its own budget

1) Fashola said no NEW(key word is new) capital project started in 2017.
2) Budget and funding are two different things. I can budget to buy a Ferrari, having the money is a different matter entirely.

Nothing gives me greater joy than seeing Fashola making a total nuisance of himself in the ministries he is heading. it should serve as a lesson to us all, don't run your mouth excessively if you don't know the true story of things. This man over-criticised Jonathan's administration as if he had the best brain

pity the guy small.
ignorance is truly bliss.
it's hard to think of a single minister there now who understood the VASTNESS of their portfolio.
this country is simply too large for this type of quack federalism. that's why all have failed, both military and civilian.
even true federalism and full restructuring will only give a bit of respite before their flaws become glaring.
anyway, Nigerians still need some more brain resetting.
therefore:
buhari till 2027!
we will mount his corpse there, if need be.
until our mumu go don do, wela.

In all fairness , fashola is the only active minister in Nigeria. If most nairalander are given chance to act as a minister in this country their performance will be woeful. At least appreciate what Fashola is doing especially in the works sector.
