Here are some of the provisions in the budget
that has irked Nigerians:
2016 budget is an untidy mess
1. The government plans to spend N3.8bn on
the State House Medical Centre, over N1bn
on the purchase of vehicles and N89.17m on
canteen/kitchen equipment.
2. The budget is based on an oil price
benchmark of $38 per barrel even though oil
prices are currently around $33 per barrel
amid expectation that the price could slip to
as low as $20 per barrel. This was one of
the earliest problems experts pointed out in
the budget.
3. N3.91bn was earmarked for the
rehabilitation/repair of office buildings. Under
the State House Headquarters votes, N278m
is proposed for the maintenance of office
buildings/residential quarters. This comes
even after N1.328bn was allocated to the
maintenance of office buildings/residential
quarters in 2014 (N901.11m) and 2015
(N421.27m).
4. N1.71bn allocated to the Office of the
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation for security equipment. The office
got N316.42m in 2015 for rehabilitation/
repair of electrical components.
5. N501.52m earmarked for Research and
Development in the Office of the Head of
Service of the Federation. The office got
N312m for the same purpose in 2015 and
N1.17bn in 2014.
6. For budget preparation, N1.6bn was
allocated to 116 Federal Government
Agencies.
7. N10bn allocated for office furniture to 116
FG agencies.
8. N795m allocated to update the website of
the Ministry of Solid Minerals. 9. N30.8m
allocated as rent for the Aso Rock residential
building.
10. N13.4bn allocated to 84 Federal Government
Agencies to purchase computer software.
