The FG has continually gaven us a budget that is far below our expectation year in year out with recurrent expenditure running to as high as 70%. Considering that the state govts run a similar structure with our FG why has it been so difficult for our FG to cut down its recurrent expenditure to atleast 50% since some state govts (e.g Rivers and Imo) presented a budget with a recurrent expenditure as low as 26.4 and 27% respectively. Are our state Governors more development conscious than our FG?
