Funny And Dubious Expenses Padded Into The 2014 Budget-A Must Read by NgeneUkwenu(f): 9:52pm On Dec 26, 2013
Funny but real....

1. In what clearly appears a ploy by officials to brazenly steal public funds, the Federal Government is asking the National Assembly to approve about N30million which it purportedly plans to spend on fueling aircraft and boats owned by Nigerian embassies abroad.

When released, these funds will simply go into the pockets of corrupt officials since the embassy does not own aircraft or boat and has no railway line to maintain

2. The Presidency and other ministries, departments and agencies of government will spend N836.6m for the fuelling of plants and generators in 2014.

The figure is striking when considered from the standpoint that the government, had after the privatization of the power sector promised that Nigerians would begin to see significant improvement in power supply from the first quarter of next year.

3. The Presidency plans to spend at least N2.3 billion on local and international travels and transportation next year.

A breakdown of the figure showed that the State House would require the sum of N1, 219, 612, 4[b][/b]17 for what it called Local Travels. International travels and transportation will gulp N1, 159, 240, 600

4. For the whole year, the Presidency intends to spend N200 million for the provision of foodstuffs/catering supplies while it also plans to expend another N162,556,500 on meals and refreshments.

5. In the same vein, the Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is expected to spend the sum of N568,859,940 on honorarium and another N51, 403,464 on meals and refreshments within the fiscal period

6. 15 Million Naira for Newspapers equates to[b] N42,000[/b] Naira/day

7.35 Million budgeted for an X-Ray machine, the 41 Million budgeted for a Mammography machine, and the 1.7 Million budgeted for an embalming machine

Guy you don't know anything. Go and read what a budget is. It is only an estimate. It is possible that after the budgetary provision, no expense will be incurred on those expense heads.

Whether you like it or not, Jonathan MUST contest and WIN 2015 presidential election.

And you think the estimations are not outrageous?




May God destroy every enemy of progress in Nigeria. May the blood of promoters, instigators and participants of bad governance and corruption be used to cleanse the land. The blood of those that have been murdered; From Sir Ahmadu Bello, Muritala Mohammed, victims of biafaran war, Ken Saro Wiwa, Dele Giwa, Bola Ige, Victims of boko haram, and several Nigerians dying daily as a result if corruption and bad governance be on their head.
