Nigeria unveils record $39.8 bln budget for 2022, spending up 25%


ABUJA, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Nigeria's president unveiled a record 16.39 trillion naira ($39.8 billion) budget for 2022 on Thursday, with a projected 25% year-on-year rise in government spending as the economy struggles with the impact of the pandemic.

The plan for Africa's most populous country and top oil exporter assumes crude production of 1.88 million barrels a day and an oil price of $57 per barrel, Muhammadu Buhari said.

The deficit would rise to 6.26 trillion naira, or 3.39% of GDP, funded mostly by new borrowing and privatisations, he told a joint session of both houses of parliament.

"Some have expressed concern over our resort to borrowing to finance our fiscal gaps. They are right to be concerned. However, we believe that the debt level of the Federal Government is still within sustainable limits," he said.

"It is unlikely that our recovery from each of the two recessions would have grown as fast without the sustained government expenditure funded by debt," he added, referring to a 2016 recession and to the 2020 crisis brought on by COVID-19.

Buhari confirmed a previously published 2022 GDP growth forecast of 4.2% and an inflation projection of 13%.

"Our target over the medium term is to grow our Revenue-to-GDP ratio from about 8 percent currently to 15 percent by 2025," said Buhari.

"At that level of revenues, the Debt-Service-to-Revenue ratio will cease to be worrying. Put simply, we do not have a debt sustainability problem, but a revenue challenge which we are determined to tackle to ensure our debts remain sustainable."

Nigeria has passed a string of record budgets since Buhari took office in 2015, but the country has struggled to fund the spending plans due to low revenues. The pandemic has added to the revenue problems.

The economy is projected to grow by up to 3% this year after it expanded by 5% in the second quarter. It contracted in 2020 due to the pandemic, though it managed to exit recession in the fourth quarter, but growth is fragile

Please do you know how much money is going to the military?

I don't know how most of you guys see the military.
They are not some bunch of banana you know, please can any of you explain the meaning of this (the Air force has bomb 20 fishermen) this country is so bad to an extent we can't even think anymore.

My uncle is a police officer...he joined the force with one of my cousins WAEC result.
Each time family members are around him at his Police station, they had to start referring to him with my cousins name...since that's the name they know him with in the police force due to someone else's result he used.

Just imagine that !!!!
Imagine that level of rot !!!

I don't ever think that Nigeria will be better. I don't ever hope on it.

Russia wouldn't loan you money to buy an aircraft they also produce.

You don't know what you're saying. What a Baseless comment you just made

We ordered (or planned to order) 7 airframes.

Even Boeing was afraid of US Government not approving the sale.

They never got to Nigeria.

Demmmmm, she looks beautiful ❤️

Please guys any info on this aircraft, I have search the entire Nigerian air force but active and none active helicopters through the help of Google but still can't find anything on this aircraft

Salatavor:
Wasted money... For every single MRAP delivered 100s of Nigerians could have been employed if this was done locally... What happens to capacity building, why are building capacity anymore?

This is a mockery of our local industries.

Hmmmmmmm now you have a defense industry
Don't forget those days where we used to beg for hand me over weapons, weapons that have been used and most times in the process of acquiring such weapons we often get disgraced e.g USA
Now we can burst of Proforce and the little work DICON is doing. Besides none of them can produce 100 MRAPs in one year, currently DICON is producing 54 MRAPs for the army let's see how long it will take them.

JOSCOFELIX:
i got this from a a guy close to this. he has legit intel on is whatsapp group where i do copy and paste . it is not your fault because it quantity is too high. but it is in the budget presented before senate draft by the former cns

I think this Is the reason why the Nigerian navy has gone for two different submarine training, the most recent training was in turkey.
OMG I think you are correct

shadowprimezero:
New batch of 100 Bigfoot MRAPs for the Nigerian Army shipped. NA seems to be building up and investing significantly on protected mobility in anticipation for the dry season offensive operation. I hear 35-40 Isotrex Legions Mraps are currently in Abuja pre deployment, along with new tracked APC's ordered after the impact made by the FV-103 Scorpions

Ohh my God, I pray that the enemies of Nigeria should think twice after see this

Covert1:
Don't mind them ooo, they'd look for anything to look relevant. Simply put to cut long story short. People matter in warfare. Brains matter.

In strategic military thinking the whole concept of what makes a nation is factored into going to war: the population size, number reaching military age and fit to fight, industrial capacity, oil; a critical factor, external support both political, diplomatic, economic and military and many more even things as little as paved roads if you consider that little which is not exactly because in a high intensity warfare they double as runway for fighter jets. In a nutshell human and material resources of a nation make and decide wars. That's the power behind the machines, equipments, weapons & technology. So as much as quality, quantity also matters depending on context in which it is debated.

China may not yet have empirical military status as being more powerful than the US but it is a peer power and has enough deterrent to dissuade the US from daring any foolish war.

Demmmmm you are so good, I want to learn from you because you are simply the best military analyst around here

Salatavor:
Two brilliant chaps in the SA airforce missile room could make a division of the Nigerian Army very worried.

What brilliant missiles are you talking about, the truth is that sauth Africa do not have The capability to go to the sea talkless about projecting power. I'm just waiting eagerly for the 2022 Global fire power ranking and see where South Africa would be placed this time.

I knew so many south Africans cried the day they found out that Nigeria has overtaken them to become Africa's largest economy, some even argued that it was just another Nigeria fraud written down in paper. We just need more time to make you feel The same way, but this time it will not be economy it will military I think by now Global fire power would have realized that. The truth must be told.

jl115:
Marais is the Shadow Minister for the opposition party, he knows very well how the serviceability of our offensive platforms work... Submarines: 1 in service, 1 in reserve, 1 under maintenance. Frigates more or less the same, give or take 1-2 in service.... Also there have been 2 subs at sea in the last couple of months.... But let's not let the truth get in the way of political grandstanding

However Rooivalk upgrade is a must, Oryx was upgraded just a couple of years ago to mk2 standard... Maybe he didn't remember project drummer??

MPA procurement is a must!!

New medium and tactical airlift to replace our C130s and casa 212s are also a must...

Hmmmmmmmm, and some people were just comparing Nigeria military that have over 200 thousand men and women of war to a nation that wants to reduce it little force of just 75 thousand to 50 thousand. While just last year Nigeria army alone past out 8 thousand men from depor Kaduna combine all three arm of our military, Nigeria past out more than 10 thousand men and as I speak the three arm of the military is currently recruiting more men into service. Military procurement is going on for the Nigerian armed forces and some people come here to say rubbish. Especially jl115, dead military.

mekussa:
E shock you? They have had 6 successful launches. Their last launch got to 5km height which is an improvement from their initial "failed" attempts.

You are wrong, the last lunch was 15 kilometers not 5 kilometers

Odunayaw:
Let's forget the past na

I totally agree

In a modern warfare you can't just go make a defensive line of trench and you have no air defense capability, because with out air defense you opponent will just send just one aircraft and I assure you your trench defense line will be destroyed but this was not the case in world war 1. Now we hear things like 5th generation jets or stealth bombers

Odunayaw:
I could throw in the Ogaden war for good measure. All I'm trying to say is that ancient warfare experience doesn't count in modern times

You are very knowledgeable, keep it up.

Good job guys

I think Nigeria should send a message through it's ministry of foreign affairs to sanction and if necessary use military force to reinstall democracy in that country

Nigerian Military long term strategy policy right on track

shadowprimezero:
You're such an embarrassment

You are all just joking

Covert1:
A Myanmar Air Force JF-17M Thunder armed with what appears to be a 2 × PL-12 or SD-10A BVR missiles some experts believe are nigh impossible to defend against. The JF-17 Thunder being a sovereign buy unlike most western jets with use limitations can also launch nuclear armed or conventional cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles and can fire its BVR missiles from extreme stand-off ranges.

Sad thing our new CDS and CAS is not media savvy to let the world see more of its new arsenal but this pic right here gives away what potentially does exist currently in the NAF. That is real shock and awe strategic power.

I can't wait for the numbers of the jf-17 to increase

Thanks

Randlord:
What WW2 equipment? Our state of the art equipment is posted here day-in-day out, from the Hornet Special forces vehicles, Oryx and Rooivalk choppers, advanced stealth frigates (while you're still arguing about to get 2 covertes), 4.5 gen aircraft (Gripen), advanced submarines. You have no analogue to many of our capabilities in many areas, e.g. no frigate with anti-ship and anti-air missiles (SA has homemade SAM), no submarines, no 4.5-gen jet (The Gripen's have been around since Mandela .

And we do not make a big fuss about the glaring capabilities gulf between our countries, we're happy for your snail-like progress, e.g. acquiring Tucanos and a handful of jets)

Our operations are detailed in glorious HD for you to see and critique. Right now we're in Eastern Congo, Mozambique and on internal deployment without missing a beat.

When Kabe needs some nice photos of African equipment to lift the doldrums on this forum he knows the SANDF got his back.

But I know you subconsciously hold SA as the benchmark, hence the need to always compare. So no offence taken, your insults are a compliment in fact.

Odunayaw:
mud fights and diapers next

Can your men and women of war effectively use this weapons you have just mentioned against Africa's most influential nation?
There's a benchmark and there's always going to be a benchmark between Nigeria and South Africa. And deep in your heart you know what am taking about, South Africa is like a stubborn and ignorant child but Nigeria always finds a way to humble her child.

A good read. Brilliant. Consolidation of multifaceted tactical and strategic operations. It tickles the ear to know along with new dedicated UAVs, new Special Mission Helicopters, 2 new Maritime Patrol Planes also 3 new commands are to be stood up for the Navy, a Coast Guard, Naval Aviation and a Special Warfare Command (Special Operations) in addition to Naval Infantry. With the proposed acquisition of Frigates and potential Sub-Marines most non-blue-water vessels would be seconded to the Coast Guard to stream line operations. I think even the Americans nay our African brothers will be jealous or proud. I don't know anyone in these parts that comes close to such capabilities or even active at this level of Naval operations. Gentlemen, Welcome to the 21st Century Nigerian Navy Total Spectrum Maritme Strategy (TSMS). As they say in the Nigerian Navy ONWARD TOGETHER. Bravo!
