Ahmed Joda, the grand old veteran bureaucrat who chaired the transition committee set up by President Muhammadu Buhari has spoken about the various challenges his committee faced in completing its assignment, principal of which was that the Jonathan administration withheld vital information about the state Nigeria. Joda cited the former administration’s initial figure that the budget deficit was N1.3 trillion only to discover that a deficit of N7trillion has been piled up. He also spoke about the regime’s report that Nigeria has the capacity to generate 12,000 megawatts of electricity, without disclosing that there was no gas to power the plants and that at the time aof the handing over, the government was generating just 1,300 megawatts. In the interview published today, he also spoke abut rampart corruption in all government departments in the country, where values have collapsed and everyone is doing what he likes. “Nobody follows the rules anymore. You employ people anyhow and pay them anyhow and I think you in the media have a fair idea of what is going on and are surprised how bad things are. I often wondered, since the beginning of this exercise, if the PDP and president Jonathan had won the election what would have been the fate of Nigeria. It would have been more difficult for them to face the challenge because they had been telling people that everything was good; the roads are good. They were not talking about the absence of light in the house, but they were talking about the capacity to produce electricity is 12,000 megawatts out of which only 5,000 could be released. “But even out of this 5,000 at the time they were doing the handing over notes only 1,300 megawatts were being generated, but they were talking about 35,000 kilometres of distribution lines and so on, but nobody told us the real problem – that there is no gas, or there is no capacity to transmit the electricity that could be generated; that even when it is delivered at the point of distribution the distribution system is so weak that it can’t take it. I personally didn’t know that until I got into this exercise. Now, if they came back, they couldn’t wake up in the morning and say we can’t pay salaries, we couldn’t do this or even pay contractors and might even not be able to pay pensions and gratuities or finance any of our operations. We were told at the beginning of the exercise that the government was in deficit of at least N1.3 trillion and by the end people were talking about N7 trillion; everything is in a state of collapse. “The civil service is bloated and the military and police, if you are a Nigerian, you know what they have been facing for a long time; everywhere is in a mess and these things have to be fixed.” Read more of the interview in the Daily Trust:http://dailytrust.com.ng/sunday/index.php/ top-stories/21101-buhari-s-transition-committee- chairman-explodes-we-found-corruption- everywhere-jodawe did not receive a single piece of paper until May 25, four days to the handover. |

When Jonathan is termed as clueless, it is complimentary because the other option is to term him wicked and evil for sitting on a crumbling national structure and behaving as if all is well. Nigerians did the right thing to end cluelessness in 2015. Imagine the chaos that would have met us had PDP and Jonathan been allowed to continue.... By the way, Okonjo-Iweala is a scam.

This Buhari administration will become unpopular after a while. The needful will include reducing the workforce of the civil service, and that will generate plenty negativity. Also, Buhari has to use the big stick on PDP's remnants in the civil sevice. So far, these remnants have shown themselves to be willing saboteurs. In all, I trust Buhari to at least make an impact. The impact already felt is a good one. 1 Like |

How can Nigeria's 2015 budgetary deficit be N7trn? How much is even our overall annual budget? Our 2015 budget is N4.5trn, revenue is expected at N3.2trn and deficit N1.3trn. So what is Joda saying? Is he talking of Budgetary deficit for real? Does Joda even know what Deficit is? This APC people are clowns! Someone should tell Ahmed Joda that there is difference between Budget deficit and FG Debt. The Total Debt of Nigeria as at May 11 is N12trn. This debt consists of all the debts of the FG and the 36 states and FCT. Joda should 7 Likes 1 Share |

barcanista: You need to take reading comprehension lessons. Joda, a very respectable administrator stated that the budget deficit of N7 Trillion has been piled up by GEJ. Nowhere did it mention this was all in 2015 as you claim. Joda was referring to year on year deficit accumulation and we know GEJ was in power for over 5 years. Please think before you counter.

LRNZH:Which respected administrator? The man is 80+ and out of touch. The N1.3trn deficit that Jonathan government budgeted for is in line with 2015 budget and NOT 5year budget. You guys aren't talkin to dummies. As for the FG debt, Nigeria has never said our debt was N1.3trn. In fact as at May 11, it was announced by GEJ government that our debt as a country (including FG, 36 states and FCT) stand at N12trn Naira. www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/nigerias-debt-hits-n12tn/ Meanwhile the debt of the FG aren't just GEJ's debt 2 Likes |

barcanista:You're at best a political commentator, better put as beer parlour analyst. Bureaucracy is not your forte, neither is making intelligent inferences. People like you are noisemakers who do not necessarily make sensible noises. The word deficit as used by Joda here makes sense to intelligent people, because the man cited many examples to press home his point. If you lack the basic understanding to wholistically capture the explanation, it is your own problem, and you are the clown in this instance. 9 Likes 2 Shares |
