I doubt you can ever get it, government ran 2016 budget before the passage of 2017 budget. Yes a project captured from 2016 and funded from 2016 budget even if it is executed in 2017 is still considered a 2016 project as long as it is being funded from 2016 budget.

Senator Barnabas Gemade had asked why the ministry (Works ) had zero performance of capital projects in 2017.

The minister , however , blamed it on the late passage of the 2017 budget .

Fashola said , “ The 2017 budget was passed in June. The procurement law requires a procurement plan which took till September. In following this law, the first release was in August. Most of the projects were going through procurement formalities such as tax identity , contract terms , even construction companies went on holidays . So , there were so many things.”

Chairman of the committee , Senator Kabiru Gaya , then asked about the amount of projects that were not procured in 2017 since there was a rollover of projects from 2016.

Fashola was unable to respond to the question , stating that even the Director of Planning in the ministry could not give a definite answer. He , however , pleaded with the committee to bring a detailed report later .

Will you shut ya mouth there, clown.

You are the ignoramus here and not the person you are quoting. The link talked about money released FOR the first quarter OF 2017 and not money released DURING the first quarter of 2017. The time of the apparent "release" could have been towards the tail end of the year or at any time but it was for the first quarter of 2017.

And then you had the temerity to ask us to blame "legislative inactivity" as you put it for the abysmal performance of the 2017 budget. When will you guys realise that you fool no one. That this is the President's administration and that he has failed on so many grounds including in the performance of budgets since he came into power. Time for him to man up and take Responsibility for his adminstration for once.

Until we see the truth and kiss it, our journey will remain unwinding and unfathomable.

When you cannot comprehend you call it govt lie when in fact you simply don't understand basic information being passed to you. The links you posted talks about the 1st quarter of 2017, meaning the budget of 2016 was in play as 2017 budget was not passed till June 2017 and FG cannot spend capital provisions of an un-passed 2017 budget. If you are going to criticize govt atleast have the intellect tondo so and not the hatred to criticize. It is sad rather than focus on legislative inaction that scuttled 2017 budget. You can spend your life on the internet making uninformed comments to garner likes from your likes, but at the end you will still end up uninformed.

Another uninformed critique of Buhari seeking likes desperately from fellow ignoramus. So it is the executive that passes budget? Please educate yourself self first on basic matters of understanding the roles of the executive and legislative rather than disgracefully showcasing your ignorance.

ken2baba:
you are the one showing ignorance here.

Read and understand before you comment.
It's like you comment before thinking.


You expect the legislative arm to pass unrealistic and unachievable budget?

Truly, you're not a patriot

Are you serious?

Is that what you understand by roll-over?

You are finding an escape route in project overlap.

There's no where they spoke about execution overlapping to 2017.

They wanted to know the fate of the rolled-over projects from 2016 appropriation.

It means that some project in 2016 budget were not executed in 2016 fiscal year due to non-release/lack of funds.

By law, capital budget not expended at the expiration of a fiscal year is returned back to the treasury.

These projects are then inserted (re-appropriated) into 2017 budget when it is assumed funds would be made available.

Besides...

Are you saying that projects captured in 2016 appropriation and funded in 2016 are being executed in October 2017 even when your boss claimed that 2017 releases were made in August 2017?

And the second tranche of 2017 releases were made in October 2017. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/10/03/fg-set-to-release-second-tranche-of-capital-budget/

What?

Are the projects being inspected in the widely publicized tread above funded in 2016 when two tranches of 2017 releases have been made as at the time the tread was splashed all over the internet?

What is the meaning of this now?

Did they not tell us that billions of naira was released for road works in 2017?

Were pictures of supposed road construction not splashed across the internet a while ago?

If only you have the intellect to point the ignorance but you can't give what you don't have. If you even had a sound reasoning faculty you would have condemned the National Assembly which despite having the powers could not even pass what you considered a realistic budget but all you have is your hate filled ignorance to parade.

ken2baba:
your reasoning is too low for my liking

I never used the word realistic

You have issues with comprehension

deomelllo:
.

The funds according to your said the funds was not released until October, so, the minister made valid points hwile your link supported his claim, you are helping the man prove his point, unless say you can not read any comprehend.


There are tons of ongoing projects all over the country and we've seen many of them so what's your pint.?


Where is the sense and wisdom in wasting money starting new projects when we are still struggling to finish the thousands of abandoned projects left by the last administration?

You iobs sabi criticize with zero common sense sha..

Let me give you an assignment, what did Fashola mean when he said they did not implement any new project during 2017? Since you cannot even reason to the level of comprehension.

AZeD1:

Actually Fashola said his ministry got money in August.

Are you sure you can read?

efighter:


Even if I don't know of any on going project, I know that the Lagos-Ibadan expressway has been in speedy construction since Buhari/Fashola came in. The rod which Obasanjo/Yar'Adua/Jonascam could not do for 16 years, Buhari/Fashola are almost finishing it.

porka:


Low reasoning is a compliment to the guy. He is just empty.

Can you just imagine the kind of unintelligible conjectures?

These are amateurs just being unleashed on the society by Buhari's media gang who apparently are trying to earn their pay in a crude way.

buhariguy:
where did you see the lie in what fashola said.

porka:


Are your normal?

What are you trying to say?

Did they just recruit/release you from somewhere?

Did you finish basic school?

Where did you see new projects being the subject of discussion?

Is new project the same thing as capital project?

Do you know what they mean?

Must a capital project always be new project?

Did you see where Fashola said funds were released in August 2017?

Fashola said , “ The 2017 budget was passed in June. The procurement law requires a procurement plan which took till September. In following this law, the first release was in August. Most of the projects were going through procurement formalities such as tax identity , contract terms , even construction

ivandragon:
how some people reason is beyond me...


the Minister of Finance clearly states that N90b was released to Works FROM the 2017 budget...

Fashola says he had no money in 2017 for Works...

what reasonable beings should be asking is for Adeosun to clarify the matter.

if for any reason projects could not be executed in 2017, have the funds be returned to the coffers of the FG?

if not, where are the funds?

simple straightforward matter, but some borderline lunatics rather twist the whole matter just to defend what obviously requires clarification...
