Ex-Militants Get More Money Than Health Sector: Nigeria's 2012 Budget by gulfer: 3:29pm On Mar 16, 2012 |
The National Assembly yesterday passed the 2012 Appropriation Act of N4,877,209,156,933 with a startling revelation that President Goodluck Jonathan allocated more money to the ex-Niger Delta Militants than the nation’s critical health sector. A breakdown of the budget shows that the Presidential Amnesty Programme for ex-militants has a recurrent expenditure of N66,176,411,902 while the entire health sector was allocated N60,920,219,702. The staggering allocation to the ex-militants is separate from the huge amount also allocated to the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, which is to gulp N48,673,424,630. In other words, the ex-militants and NDDC, which ought to create a conducive atmosphere to discourage militancy in the Niger Delta, were cumulatively allocated N114 billion. The controversial fuel subsidy has the lion share of N888 billion followed by Works which is to gulp N244 billion. Education, which is another critical sector of the economy, received only N66 billion, while Power was allocated N75 billion. Transport is to gulp N89 billion and Water Resources N75 billion. The 2012 budget, which was increased by about N228.3 billion after it was amended by the National Assembly, is predicated on a crude oil benchmark of $72 per barrel and a production output of 2.48 million barrels per day, as well as an exchange rate of N155 to the U.S. dollar. After the passage of the budget, Senator President David Mark congratulated his colleagues for the quick passage of the budget and enjoined the executive to submit the 2013 budget to the National Assembly “latest by September this year, to enable us consider and pass it before the end of the year.”http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2012/03/16/jonathans-budget-shocker-ex-militants-get-more-money-than-health-sector/ |

Our eyes have seen and our ears have heard but our legs won't walk the walk. We keep geeting shocking revelations but nothing seems to be happening. let's just learn to live with them like Jonathan suggested. |

^^^^ Actually, the govt doesnt know what exactly they are subsidizing. ask them what is our annual consumption rate? they go dumb. that sum to me is "estimatedly exaggerated" all in an effort to fund their corrupt lifestyles |

This sets a bad precedent. I guess Boko Haram will be pacified next? Why can't this be used to beef up security around Nigeria? Instead of pacifing jobless drunks and touts? |

mkmyers45: Terrible. There are some things that should not be made public knowledge. This Jonathan nor get shame at all. When places like the US negotiates with terrorists, they make sure the world does not hear about it. This is disgraceful. |

These thieves are now so brazen and brag without shame about their loots and the avenues through they milk the nation. One wonders if they'd be this brash and bold were someone like Gani fawehinmi to be alive. i for Ngeria. |

Yes man let the rightful owners atleast have a taste of what is rightful theirs, by the way how much income does one earn from just one oil block talkless of more, and how many of those niger delta guys have oil blocks in the niger delta let alone dreaming of having a sugar kain plantation or any precious stone minning in the north? We are talking about absolute total resource control and you guys are here crying about some token someone gets from what rightful belongs to him. CHANGE YOUR WAYS OR PERISH NIGERIA! |

As much as it sounds outrageous and extravagant. It is their resources... If they like let them turn blind eyes to their Ibori-esque leaders and their loots. It's high time we start being creative and not depend on oil money which makes criminals like Asari Tokunbo feel relevant. |
Re: Ex-Militants Get More Money Than Health Sector: Nigeria's 2012 Budget by babaowo: 8:24pm On Mar 16, 2012 |
