Obasanjo, Jonathan, Others To Get N2.3bn Benefits In 2019 by boman2014: 8:10am On Jan 03, 2019
Former Nigerian leaders including ex - Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan and their Chiefs of Staff are to receive N 2 . 3 bn as benefits in 2019 .


The sum of N 4 .5 bn was also proposed
in the 2019 budget as severance
benefits for retired Heads of Service
and Permanent Secretaries while
former heads of government agencies
and parastatals would receive N 1 bn as
severance benefits.

This is contained in the budget
document recently submitted to the
National Assembly by President
Muhammadu Buhari.

The Federal Government also proposed
N3 bn for outsourced services and
N5 bn for ‘ margin for increased in
costs. ’


Findings also showed that N65 bn was
budgeted for re - integration of
transformed ex- militants while
contingency got N 15 . 8 bn .

The counter - insurgency operations in
the North - East , Operation Lafiya Dole
and other military operations were
expected to gulp N 75 bn .

The Federal Government allocated
N20 bn for university revitalization
and another N 20 bn for additional
support to universities.

The sum of N 160 bn was voted for
public service wage adjustment for
ministries , departments and agencies
including arrears of promotion and
salary increases and severance
benefits.

Another N22 .7 bn was allocated for
outstanding terminal benefits of
retired Nigeria Airways workers .

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps proposed N 514 .6 m for the
construction of public schools and
N170 . 4 m for construction of stations /
barracks.

The Nigeria Police Force voted N103 m
for land acquisition and N 4 . 9 bn for
police stations / barracks construction.

Meanwhile, the Federal Ministry of
Justice has proposed to spend the sum
of N 1 bn on election logistics support
in 2019 .


The N1 bn planned expense jerked the
proposed budget up by about 13 .9 per
cent over the ministry’ s 2018 budget .
According to the budget estimate , the
sum of N 1 bn proposed by the Ministry
of Justice to be spent on what is
described as “ Election – Logistics
Support” represents about 13 .5 per
cent of the ministry ’s budget size of
N7 ,431 ,288 , 232 .


Since the budget proposal is for an
election year, it is believed that the
item has to do with the forthcoming
general elections.


Further strengthening this belief is that
the item which surfaced under the
miscellaneous expenses of the ministry
for the 2019 financial year , was absent
in the ministry’s budget for 2018.


A total sum of N1 ,140 , 273 ,822 is
proposed for miscellaneous expenses
of the ministry for 2019 .


Apart from election logistic support ,
other items under the heading are
publicity and advertisements which
are to gulp N 5 , 5671 ,861 ; postages and
courier services , N2 ,108 , 280 ; welfare
packages , 93 , 600 ,001 ; sporting
activities, N 5 , 000 ,0004 ; annual budget
expenses and administration ,
28 ,893 , 676 ; and monitoring activities
and follow - up , N5 m .


The sum of N1 bn proposed for election
logistic support represents 87 .7 per
cent of the proposed miscellaneous
expenses .


In the 2018 budget of the ministry the
amount planned to be spent under
miscellaneous expenses without the
new item of election logistic support
was N 21 ,015 , 931 .


If the budget proposal of the Ministry
of Justice is approved by the National
Assembly , it means the ministry’s
budget will increase from
N6 ,526 ,592 , 382 in 2018 to
N7 ,431 ,288 , 232 in 2019.
The difference of N 904 , 695 , 850
between the 2018 and the proposed
2019 budgets represents about 13 .9
per cent increase in the proposed
budget .

This huge amount for doing absolutely nothing? When it comes to workers welfare FG will say there's no money to pay pension and gratuity to workers that had put in their best to see this nation move to greater height na wahala. But just look at what they plan on giving past leaders that served this nation for just a few number of years cry

only restructuring can save this country


The current system only favours the politicians to the detriment of the masses

Atiku means restructuring... It's a start
We can't continue like this

Buhari cannot do anything... The foundation is faulty

YET THEY CAN'T PAY A NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE OF #30,000 TO THOSE WHO WORK VERY HARD TO EARN A LIVING.

THESE POLITICIANS ARE WORKING FOR THEIR COLLECTIVE BENEFIT AND NOT FOR THE COLLECTIVE BENEFIT OF THE MASSES.


UPON THE FACT THAT THESE LEADERS FAILED NIGERIANS WOEFULLY AND IMPOVERISHED THEM, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STILL HAS THE CONFIDENT TO REWARD THEM WITH THE ALREADY IMPOVERISHED NIGERIANS MONEY. RATHER THAN ENSURING JUSTICE IS DONE.
THIS BAD SYSTEM MUST BE CHANGED ITS PURE EVIL.


POLITICS IS A VERY VERY VERY LUCRATIVE BUSINESSSSS IN NIGERIA!
