Ten Things We Learnt From The 2017 National Assembly Budget By @budgit by Teewhy2: 2:35pm On May 17, 2017 |
It’s over! The era of secrecy surrounding the details of budgetary allocations to the National Assembly is now well and truly over. The four-year-old advocacy for accountability in the spending of the legislature finally climaxed last week with the release of the National Assembly’s budget breakdown. As you might expect, there are a few interesting discoveries — it’s not for fun that this is the first such public release in eight whopping years. We’ve learnt many new things, but we’ll share just 10 with you. http://nairametrics.com/ten-things-we-learnt-from-the-2017-national-assembly-budget-by-budgit/ |

The Executive is not the main problem of Nigerians but Legislative Arm, firstly they are just too much, most of them are just there just for political reason not contributing any meaningful thing and most of them see the place as a retirement plan especially the Governors. i see no reason why most Ex Governors are voted into the senate / House of Representative. with the volume of people both in House of Representative/ senate there is no way cost of running the government won't be high. This set of people do more bad than good to the people as they enrich themselves with money that is meant for constituency project by either doing no project or finding a way of putting it in the Federal project while they share peanuts in the form of rice, oil and stipends to their local people. To this politicians recession is just a word, if truly Nigeria is in recession, half of this people budget should be called off but the presidency can't do that as they will frustrate the government and treating them with their own skeletons in the cupboard. in the next elections, we the youth needs to be more awake, we need to know who we are voting for in the next election not just at the presidency but also at the legislative arm as they can frustrate a good and honest president who is ready to work.

Excellent analysis. It is clear that it is best to have a president who have some clue about these issues. I mean candidates who recognise the problem as indicated and come with a promise to make changes. Looking at these figures one can say that Nigeria is not broke. There are lots of holes of corruption which if plugged sizable amount of money will be available for development. Imagine office complex for over 2billion Naira. Will it be made of gold walls or will it be hosted on 1 million acers of land. We just need committed leaders who understand what the issues are. We have never had them; not in Goodluck or in Buhari. Time has come when we must come together to vet leadership based on how they understand our problems and their clear-cut road map to resolving these issues. Not just that it is the time for north, east or west president. |

Rubbish. Nigerians av been making noise about d national assembly being fraudulent and indeed d hotbed of corruption from d days of OBJ,yet they are progressively becoming more fraudulent with each passing regime. Even under this so called corruption fighter,NASS has for d first time since perhaps the days of YarAdua increased it's budget.They still pad d budget and constituency projects awarded to themselves thru cronies has not stopped under president "we either kill corruption or corruption kills us". So what has all this online disclosures and shouts achieved?Not a single damn thing! |

Thanks op for this info. With this info I just imagine where we are heading to, for Nigeria to become better we must reduce cost of governance. How can photocopying machines be purchased annually. |

Can BudgIT do a comparative analysis of the Line Items in NASS's Budget as against that in FG's Budget. You will find both budgets have ridiculous figures, kindly give same publicity to both budgets. Thank You |

Buhari's food budget in 2017 is 2 billion. 2016 too was 2 billion. The Executives are Nigeria's problem NNASS members are quite many and I really have no issues with their budget |

we really should focus on one issue at a time -the national assembly budget of 125Bn which is more than the budget of many states. Many of these states have huge populations and yet their budget is small when compared to that of the national assembly. Imagine delta state (an oil producing state)having a budget of 270.910bn with a population of about 4m. The national assembly has a population of less than 400 people (the aides are serving these people). https://guardian.ng/politics/national-assembly-jumbo-allocation-and-lawmaking/ reading definitely makes for hard reading -and you wonder how this country would ever develop. https://www.thecable.ng/budgit-eie-national-assembly-budget-cut-n73bn |
