TonyeBarcanista: Formulating the national budget is the duty of the budget office but once it becomes an appropriation act, it is the duty of the finance ministry to source for the needed funds and release the funds to MDA'S based on the budget. The finance minister signs the warrant and orders the Accountant General to do the cash backing and not the budget office. So far so good, I don't think she has failed in doing the above. Secondly, agreed it is the duty of the finance minister to come up with fiscal policies for the country, but again, what exactly is fiscal policy? Fiscal policy is the policy that guides the administration of taxes and revenue generation in the country. Simply put, fiscal policies are geared towards raising the needed funds to carry out government projects and also as a tool for correcting social imbalance. So far so good, she has done well in this area. For the first time in Nigeria, a budget of N6trillion was proposed in a period of serious shortage in oil revenue. We have a proposal whereby taxes and internally generated revenue will fund over 50% of the budget. If that is not a success in fiscal policy formulation, I don't know what it is. You may argue that the budget is yet to be implemented, but the fact is, she has set a big target for herself. Why not let's give her a chance to implement this budget before we crucify her. Bringing in the tribal narrative is inevitable. The narrative from her haters is that the south west is trying to create their own NOI so therefore, the wailers from the south east must bring her down at all cost even when she's done nothing wrong. Finally, I will ask you again, name just one of the current ministers that has performed wonderfully well in the past three months of their inauguration? 17 Likes 2 Shares |

simplycarro: The same election OBJs book was talikg about- the 2011 election that Jonathan unfortunately won. I can easily say unfortunately now because of the way the economy has gone and all the savings that could have been made in those 4 years that are now in all sorts of people personal pockets. 2 Likes |

Brilliance9000:lol..that wasn't the plot. NOI is corrupt and unless a strong leader is there that will curb her. She will agree to Jonathan whose penchant for CORRUPTION and abetting it is second to none. HiddenShadow:common sense is not really common. the CBN govnr is no more from ur aide, abi? why did u think OBJ suggested she served alongside buhari? why did u think she rejected the offer? if u dnt knw, google why she was removed by OBJ as the chairman if economic team during the Paris club debt relief saga. of course, she wasn't alone in the CORRUPTION case, she inflated her allowance and commission.. if u dnt knw, the case was even taken to court before being removed. so, think before u post. now. abt them bailing them out...what do u think NOI will do in this type of situation when the price is crude oil is $30/barrel? She couldn't even save and avert the crashing future when the price was at $150/barrel? of course, her first statement as an advice to buhari was to increase VAT and increase TAX...so much for a brained god of the eastern morons! buhari hasn't increase the TAX or VAT, and he has even reduced the price of petrol after not paying the trillions of subsidies they paid with increased pump price every year. your senses have eluded you...import another UK used! 14 Likes |

explorer250:CBN govnr is a good manager. his policies have so much helped. Jonathan/NOI were a team of good manager. At $150/barrel...we were said to be broke with no tangible savings for the future. in fact: whenever that team proposed to remove subsidy, it is automatic increase in pump price, no? but now, subsidies are not paid, pump price reduced. some set of people are nothing but corrupt managers!!! 11 Likes 1 Share |

TonyeBarcanista:OBJ made a very good point, NOI has her weaknesses and she needs a very focused and discipline boss to cover up those flaws. Are you aware that in every area where NOI failed under GEJ, it was the exact opposite when she worked under OBJ? All the achievements which gave NOI her fame was achieved when she worked under OBJ, from digging Nigeria out of the mud and placing her on the world economic map, clearing off debts in billions of dollars, increasing the nation's savings/reserves by over 1000% at a time when oil prices were lower, pushing Nigeria's GDP growth rate from 2% to a record 6-7%, creating a robust middle class etc. It's obvious she's good at what she does but she needs to be managed by someone strong, obviously not a GEJ, cos she apparently reversed all her achievements when she worked with GEJ. 6 Likes |

Bede2u: Budget preparation is the responsibility of the budget office under the supervision of ministry of budget and national planning. How many times are we going to repeat this simple fact to you guys before you get it? If you want another casualty for the budget mess after the sack of the DG budget office, call for the head of the minister of budget and planning. 5 Likes |
