GOOD EVENING/MORNING GREAT PEOPLE OF GOLDEN CITY

Imagine how this city seems to be crowded Its really amazing that most humans perform at their peak only when problems and challenges emanates. This is because most of 'us' live our lives on the RED LINE (JUST FOR THE MOMENT)

OF ALL DAYS, AND WITH ALL THE THOUGHTS RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND NOW, ITS UNFORTUNATE I REALLY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TODAY FOR WRITING But I'll still try with some few thoughts:

# We all know that no matter how we are persistent with our cries, complains or protest, NYSC will not commense A'16 camping or service year at their own expense. WHY WASTE THE ENERGY?

# In terms of management, funding and financing, NYSC does not operate as an Autonomy - Independent of the Federal Government Coffers. What answers do we need from NYSC that will deliberately alter the stipulated dates Or are we just trying to derive consolation from making such EASY-TO-ANSWER-WITH-WORDS request(s) (wetin happen to spinxytinxy consolation joint )

# For those of us complaining about getting older at home (becoming older than 24 years), resulting in reducing one's chances of employability, haven't we heared of what is known as DOWN-SIZING (which organisations have been significantly experiencing since last year)? Look around you, in the past 6 months, have you not observed the decline in money circulation, job security or related opportunities?

My advice:

1. Nigeria is fast becoming a and being dependent on a Capitalist society. One need to be proactive and entreprenuerial to stay afloat. And with the direction our nation, our economy and even NYSC is tilting, do not be suprised that paying Corp members the suposed allowance (allowee) consistently will pose a great challenge when we eventually get started.

2. Tailor those energies of yours into something lucrative with this time NYSC has made available (regardless of whether or not you get income in return). The experience, skills and rapport you will develop therein will come in handy sooner or later!

HAVE A 'CRYING-FREE' SEASON AS YOU WAIT FOR THE STIPULATED DATES WHILE EXCHANGING YOUR AVAILABLE TIME WITH VALUE

Seen and responded to..

Btw, I thought the current government want to work on a zero-based budget?

cc;amodu

One thing I know for sure is that 2016 NYSC service year will commence.

Just to be analytical, one of the challenges that consistently plagued us as a nation is that we lack consistency and continuity of WELL-LAID OUT systems and structures. Sometimes because of some selfish interest, or the need to impress and deceive/manipulate the gullible ones (example, shouting CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE without first sitting to count the cost), we tend to 'BORROW AND IMPLEMENT' systems without carefully considering their long term effects and consequencies.

Because I would not want to bare any associated responsibility, I'll want to quote this source in expressing my point of view on ZERO-BASED BUDGETTING: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/zero-based-budgeting-and-its-consequences-for-2016/

Zero-based budgeting and its consequences for 2016
ON October 5, 2015 12:00 AM / IN News, Sobowale
On Business / Comments

One of my favourite wise cracks is the Law of the Hammer which says, “Give a young boy a hammer and he suddenly decides that everything he sees needs to be hammered immediately. Nigerians voted for change, without obtaining a clear idea of what we wanted changed and when. Common sense, which incidentally is not common, would suggest that not everything needs to be changed. And surely not all existing systems and structures can be altered at the same time.
Certainly, not everything can be changed this year. Yet, in the manic rush to “change” everything, we might be committing great errors which will be costly to correct in four years. As a general principle, it is easier to destroy than to build. It required several years of planning to put up the
World Trade Centre in the US; it was reduced to rubble in a few hours when Al Queda struck on September 11, 2001.

What has this got to do with Zero-Based budgeting, you are probably asking? Plenty, as you will soon discover. At least, regular readers of this page would remember that last week the question was asked, “WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2016 BUDGET?” Now we know part of the answer: “Nothing much”. Professor Osinbajo, SAN, but not an economist, did not say “Nothing much” when he made the announcement
about Zer0-Sum Budgeting.

But, professional economists know that when an entity (government, business etc) is still talking about the method or approach for its budget in September, when the draft of the actual budget should have been ready by month-end, then “Nothing much” had been done. And, for 2016 budget, that means trouble. The change from traditional budgeting procedure to Zero-Sum invariably requires a lot of time to
impose in any organization, especially government. It is certain to result in delays and avoidable errors if it is introduced in the little time left for this year to end. Two reasons would be sufficient to illustrate the point. But, before stating the reasons, let me summarise for our readers what the palaver is all about.

Conventional budgeting procedures can generally be characterized as “top-down” programmes. Government reviews what was budgeted in the current year, projects what the year-end results will be; forecasts what the gross revenue for the coming year will be and the Executive branch allocates what it considers appropriate for each Ministry, Department and Agency.

The underlying assumptions are that all the ongoing programmes and projects will continue; that the staff strength will remain the same and very little will change. It is an evolutionary approach to budgeting which has its positive and negative attributes.

The good news is, with conventional budgeting those charged with the responsibility of drafting it can work quickly and get it done in the shortest possible time. Furthermore, because this had been the traditional way of budgeting, all the operators are familiar with it and can easily adjust their programmes when the need arises. The downside of conventional budgeting is that it often fails to take account of projects and programmes which had been. Or should have been terminated and no longer funded.

For the 2015/2016 budgets the perfect example are the Millennium Development Goals, MDGs, to which Obasanjo committed the country in 2000. Nigeria, like several other nations, was a signatory to an agreement mandating the achievement of eight development goals by the end of 2015. Whether achieved or not, and Nigeria failed woefully in at least six of the MDGs, the programme terminates in December this year.

The staff in various Ministries, employed to ensure the success of the MDGs will actually become redundant – unless other uses can be found for them. Traditional budgeting methods will not be able to detect the redundant staff and recommend either discharge or transfer or redeployment to other Ministries, Departments or Agencies.

By contrast, Zero-Sum Budgeting, which is allied with Management By Objectives, MBO, is a “bottom-up” approach to budgeting and development. The Federal Government has announced that “The Zero-Sum budgeting will be carefully coordinated to ensure that it is policy- driven; especially regarding the proposed social intervention policy of President Buhari’s administration”.

In reality, all budgets, irrespective of whether conventional or Zero-Sum, should be policy-driven. At any rate, the benefits, or otherwise, to the nation will determine the soundness of the policy – not the approach to budgeting. Zero-Sum budgeting can produce great disasters as
conventional budgeting if the policy driving it is wrong- headed.

A good example is the, now disputed “free meals for school children” programme – which was announced before counting the costs – which will run into hundreds of billions of naira. Neither conventional nor Zero-Sum method of budgeting will remove the fact that, if government actually intends to implement it, then government is taking on the responsibility of feeding close to fifteen million kids every
school day – at least two hundred days per annum.

The modalities for ensuring that every kid, irrespective of how remote the location is, had not been worked out; neither has the nutritional content of each plate of food been determined – among other matters arising from this laudable but complex proposal. One thing is certain; it cannot take off in January 2016, and perhaps not until 2017.

Zero-Sum, being new will need to be introduced gradually, and it cannot be done in time for the 2016 budget to be presented. That is its major drawback for now. There are others….

Much apologies.

amodu:
The answer is not far-fetched.

The elections that have been taking place aren't Federal elections but State elections, so they (state) provides the funds.

The payment of current CM was already passed in the last fiscal budget I.e. 2015 as the planning and their mobilisation took place in that particular year. So the controversial 2016 budget will take care of we batch A, B and possibly C if there will be.

Nice one brother. What would've been my response.
