Reforming the public sector: Public Financial Management

The APC’s Commonsense Solution

We will:

Public Spending

Gradually increase public spending to 30% of GDP over our first term in office.
Redirect public spending priorities to increase the proportion of public spending invested in capital infrastructure to 50% from 32% by 2025.
Use the increased capital spending to fund a massive programme of public works to rebuild and extend our infrastructure – with some projects jointly funded and managed by the private sector through PPPs.
Introduce a Comprehensive Economic Development Plan for Northeastern Nigeria to tackle the long-term economic causes of unrest.
Establish a N300bn growth fund administered by new regional development agencies focused on providing investment for local value-added production.
Gradually increase spending on social welfare programmes such as health and education to around 35% of spending from their current level of 15%.
Modernize our poorly-equipped and paid security forces by a phased doubling of security spending to 15% including an increased in their wages.
Ring-fence funding for the anti-corruption agency & electoral commission that will help keep our public life clean.
Improve efficiency by shifting spending within public agencies from back room administration to frontline services – guaranteeing that at least 50% will be spent directly on the public.
Phase out the practice of government officials obtaining medical treatment abroad at government expense.
Towards a lean and effective government

Establish a Presidential Task Force to reform public services – a key role will be to review the number and functions of bloated and unnecessary parastatals to reduce duplication and ensure they are fit for purpose.
Co-ordinate most or all of work of the eight federal health bloated and unnecessary parastatals through a single body – Healthcare Nigeria.
Set up two new Federal agencies to drive our infrastructure development programme – Skills Nigeria and Build Nigeria.
Create six regional development agencies focused on providing investment for value-added manufacturing and agribusiness.
Reform the management and funding of the water sector to create State Water & Sanitation Authorities.
Expand the role of Council of State to become a forum for agreeing joint initiatives between the Federal and State levels of government.

The challenge facing us as Nigerians is whether we have the will and courage to unite to radically reform, modernize and move our nation forward – not looking backward to the failed policies and practices of the past. It is no longer a question of choice but of will and courage!

This Manifesto outlines our side of the social contract with the people; what APC will do to change Nigeria. We cannot do it on our own, we need the people’s consent and participation. Below we outline Eight pledges for a better Nigeria. They form a new, honest contract with Nigeria.

During our first term in office, the APC government will:

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

Create 3 million new jobs a year through public works programmes and shifting the economy towards value-added production will be our primary economic target.

Security

Employ at least an extra 100,000 police officers and establish a properly trained and equipped Federal Anti-Terrorism Multi-Agency Task Force to destroy Boko Haram and any form of insurgency.

Security

Introduce an immediate pay rise and improved conditions for all five security services

Corruption

Adopting a zero-tolerance approach to corruption – rooting out dishonest public servants and imposing tough sanctions including jail sentences.

Youth

Provide interest-free loans for university/technical school students who meet the required entry qualifications. We will fund this by providing guarantees to the banking sector and by absorbing the interest.

Education

Introduce a free daily school meal for all children attending primary school.

Poverty

Introduce the first phase of direct conditional monthly social security payment for 25 million of the poorest Nigerians

Health

Create a network of local health centres providing free services and drugs such that no one lives more than 5km from help.

Federalism

Create a more equitable distribution of national revenue to the States and local governments because this is where grassroots democracy and economic development must be established.

Lagos, one of the 36 states in the federation and shares 26% of the nation's revenue wi 35 other states prepared a capital expenditure of 249bn naira in its 2015 budget.

The federal government takes 52% of the nation's revenue and shares it with no one prepared on the other hand a budget with a capital expenditure of 627billion naira. This is just 2.5 times the capex of lagos state.

Isn't this shameful? The government is proposing 2.6 trillion as recurrent expenditure. How is this supposed to transform? A whole FG proposing 2.5x Lagos state budget as its own capital expenditure?

At the moment all developmental projects in the state have been stalled all because he's chasing APC VP slot, which he wofully failed to clinch. Many contractors have demobilized from sites due to non-disbursement of funds for project execution. Workers have not been paid their salaries for about 3 months now. In fact it seems Rivers state does not have a governor at the moment.

How can we fail to see that the incredible corruption, incompetence, poverty of 2/3 of our people after almost seven years of the present government is unsupportable? How is it that Diezani’s use of 10 billion Naira to run her private jet (the same amount of money for the building of 24 mega schools in Osun!) and the complete silence of the President on this travesty does not lead to calling for him to be voted out in 2015? So the allegation of the missing or unaccounted for 20.8 billion USD with 110 million desperately poor, should be dismissed as pure propaganda? So it doesn’t make a difference to us that under the PDP Nigeria has fallen behind in every human development indicator? 55,000 women dying yearly of maternal related ailments, only recently Stanford’s Professor Larry Diamond compared the yearly deaths of over 300,000 children yearly in Nigeria to the killing of 800, 000 mainly Tutsis in Rwanda. The latter was described as genocide, what is the description to give to mass deaths of infants caused by grand corruption?

We discredit our treasured platforms such as this when we mask our political preferences with a religious veil. The vast majority of our people need to be delivered from terrible want and deprivation, what is required now are capable, honest men and women of all faiths, who know that this country may not long survive the daily punishment of its own people
