Revised Budget: FG Gives National N27bn. Slashes Primary Health Care And UBE Fun by GIdiata(m): 3:37am On Jun 03, 2020 |
•Govt slashes primary health care centres’ fund from N 44.4 bn to N25.5bn; UBE, N 111.7bn to N51.1bn The Federal Government has reduced the N37 bn budget for the renovation of the National Assembly complex to N27.7 bn. The Federal Government, in the 2020 revised budget proposal, according to documents obtained by our correspondent on Tuesday, cut N9.3 bn from the budget for the renovation of the National Assembly complex. The renovation of the complex at the initial cost of N37 bn, which is to be executed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration, attracted criticisms from a large section of Nigerians last year. However, following the drop in the price of crude oil and a fall in the projected government revenue, it was learnt that the Federal Government decided to reduce the budget for the renovation. The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had on Thursday presented the 2020 Appropriation Act (amendment) Bill to the National Assembly, which both the Senate and the House passed for second reading same day. Buhari explained that the amendment became necessary in view of the sharp decline in crude oil prices and the cut in Nigeria's crude oil production quota occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic. Basic health care slashed by 42.5 per cent In the proposed revised budget, while the National Assembly complex renovation budget was reduced to N27.7bn (a reduction of 25.1 per cent), the Basic Health Care Provision Fund, which is meant to cater for all the primary healthcare centres across the 774 local government areas in the country, was significantly reduced by N44.4 bn to N25.5 bn, a decrease of more than 42.5 per cent The BHCPF is made up of one per cent of the Federal Government Consolidated Revenue from international partners such as the World Bank, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the United States Agency for International Development . It is the fundamental funding provision under the National Health Act and was appropriated for the first time in the 2018 budget since the Act was signed in 2014. The Universal Basic Education fund was also reduced significantly from N111. 7bn to N51.1bn, by more than 54.2 per cent, according to documents obtained by Dataphyte, an open data organisation . The UBE is a reform programme aimed at providing greater access to quality basic education throughout Nigeria. https://punchng.com/revised-budget-fg-gives-national-assembly-n27bn-for-renovation-cuts-health-ube-votes/ 1 Like |

In the proposed revised budget, while the - NASS building renovation for 469 members - N27,7bn.. - Basic health care for 774 local government and 200m populace in a pandemic - N25.5bn Is it not obvious the chess game of approve my renovation funds while I approve your $22bn loan despite its lopsided spread of projects by a rubber stamp NASS.. While you and myself are here thinking we elected reasonable leaders.. 1 Like 1 Share
